"Someone has said that when we want to talk to the Lord,
we
pray, and when he wants to talk to us, it is through the scriptures:
'For it is
my voice which speaketh them unto you; for they are given by my Spirit
unto you,
and by my power you can read them one to another' (D&C
18:35)." —
Barbara W. Winder, "Enjoy Your Journey, " "BYU Speeches of the
Year", 13 March 1990

"How can we provide a climate in
our lives to foster the presence of the Holy Ghost, that our lives may
be more joyful? Just as a reservoir stores water to bring relief and
replenish the thirsty land, so we can store experiences, knowledge,
and
desires to replenish and fortify our spiritual needs. Four ways may be
helpful in developing reservoirs of righteousness and spiritual
self-reliance. We prepare by—
"1. Developing a cheerful
disposition wherein the Spirit can dwell.
"2. Learning the Savior's will for
us, that we may know our divine potential.
"3. Understanding and accepting his
atoning sacrifice and repenting of our sins.
4. Keeping his commandments and
having a firm determination to serve him." - Barbara W. Winder,
"Finding Joy in Life," Ensign (CR), November 1987, p. 95

I am ever so grateful for my opportunities as well as my share of
challenges. I feel indebted to my Savior for helping me through
difficult times. And I hope and desire that each of us will rely on
him to ease our pains, to soothe our distresses, to buoy us up, to
invigorate us and help us overcome our trials! Draw close to him who
extends divine invitation to each one personally:
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
“Take my yoke upon you, … and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matt.
11:28–29). – Barbara W. Winder, “Hope
in Christ,” Ensign (CR) November 1986
