"As we seek the things of God, we must humble ourselves before Him,
remembering that it is by His grace that we receive them, and focus our thoughts
and our prayers, our faith and our desires, even all of the energy of our hearts
that we might receive light and understanding directly from a loving Heavenly
Father." - Craig C. Christensen, "Seek,
and Ye Shall Find," Ensign (CR), May 2003, p.33

"The pattern for seeking answers from God is simple to explain yet much more
personal when applied. To begin, we are invited to study in our minds and ponder
in our hearts those things that we most desire of Him. (See
D&C 9:7-8;
Moro. 10:3.) This process of
reflection brings clarity and inspiration to our souls. We are then instructed
to present our thoughts and desires directly to Heavenly Father in humble prayer
with the promise that, if we ask Him in the name of Christ, if what we are
seeking is right, and if we 'ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having
faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto [us], by the power of the
Holy Ghost,' for it is 'by the power of the Holy Ghost' that we 'know the truth
of all things.' (Moro. 10:4-5.)"

and Ye Shall Find," Ensign (CR), May 2003, p.33

"As we engage
our faith and commit our energy to draw closer to Jesus Christ, we begin to
understand more fully who He really is. As we seek Him diligently, we gain a
deep and abiding testimony of His matchless love, His perfect life and
example, and the blessings of His great atoning sacrifice. As we draw nearer
to Him, we truly begin to find Him and to recognize Him as the Creator of
the earth, the Redeemer of mankind, the Only Begotten of the Father, the
King of kings, the Prince of Peace.
"The deeper we
seek, the more we begin to appreciate His role as the Great Jehovah of the
Old Testament and the Holy Messiah of the New Testament. We begin to
understand more fully His eternal message of salvation and exaltation. We
find that He continues to beckon us to come and follow Him, that His
teachings are certain and are as applicable today as they were throughout
all previous generations of time. We begin to know, with more profound
appreciation, what occurred in Gethsemane and on Calvary. Although He was
erroneously convicted and sentenced, He gave His life willingly; and in
fulfillment of His own prophetic words, He was resurrected on the third day.
This priceless gift brings immortality to all and eternal life to the
obedient and faithful." - Craig
C. Christensen, "Seek, and Ye Shall
Find," Ensign (CR), May 2003, p.33

"Ever since Samuel Smith set out to
preach the gospel with a few first-edition copies, the Book of Mormon has
blessed the lives of millions around the world. I pray that we will continue to
use the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ to share the gospel
message with family and friends. If we do this, as was the case with our dear
friend, many will respond with great interest to know more about the life and
mission of the Savior and His great plan of happiness for each of us."

Book with a Promise," General Conference, April 2008
