"What to do when adversity strikes? There is only one thing to do. Stand steady
and see it through. Stay steadfast, constant, and true. The real tragedy in the
whirlwinds of life comes only when we allow them to blow us off our true course.
"At these moments of crisis and challenge, some choose to abandon faith just at
the time when it most needs to be embraced. Prayer is ignored at the very hour
when it needs to be intensified. Virtue is carelessly tossed aside when it needs
to be cherished. God is forsaken in the all-too-human yet mistaken fear that He
has forsaken us.
"The truth is that our only safety, our only security, our only hope is to hold
fast to that which is good. As the mists of darkness gather around us, we are
only lost if we choose to let go of the iron rod, which is the word of God." -
David S. Baxter, "Faith,
Service, Constancy," Ensign, November 2006
