"Just as Jesus' anxious Apostles were given peace by 'another
Comforter,' so today can all men and women receive the same marvelous
blessing each day of their lives: the teenager challenged by peer
pressure, the person torn by seemingly overwhelming passions or
emotions, the person encircled about by loneliness and despair, the
hungry, the oppressed, the forgotten, the frightened, the abused, the
abuser, the liar, the thief--all who will surrender, follow the
Master, and do His works are entitled to the same peace." - Dennis E.
Simmons, "His
Peace," General Conference, April 1997

"'Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my
Spirit, and you shall have peace in me' (D&C
19:23).
"'He who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward,
even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come' (D&C
59:23).
"Just as Helaman discovered in the midst of battle that 'he did speak
peace to our souls' (Alma
58:11) and Oliver Cowdery had peace spoken to his mind when he
cried unto the Lord in his heart that he might know concerning the
truth of the Book of Mormon (see D&C
6:22-23), all sincere seekers can have that same peace spoken to
them. That peace comes from the assurances spoken by a still, small
voice. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit who generally
communicates not through physical senses but by touching the heart and
mind—in other words, He speaks through thoughts, impressions, and
feelings and does so softly." - Dennis E. Simmons, "His
Peace," Ensign (CR), May 1997, p.31

"As a young man, I returned home from an eighth-grade basketball
tournament dejected, disappointed, and confused. I blurted out to my
mother, 'I don't know why we lost—I had faith we'd win!'
"I now realize that I did not then know what faith is.
"Faith is not bravado, not just a wish, not just a hope. True faith is
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—confidence and trust in Jesus Christ
that leads a person to follow Him. (Alma
32:21)" - Dennis E. Simmons, "But
If Not...," Ensign (CR), May 2004, p.73

Faith is
believing that although we do not understand all things, He does.
Faith is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not. Faith
in Jesus Christ consists of complete reliance on Him. - Dennis E.

If Not…," Ensign (CR) May 2004

Men
accomplish marvelous things by trusting in the Lord and keeping His
commandments—by exercising faith even when they don’t know how the
Lord is shaping them. - Dennis E.
Simmons, “But
If Not…,” Ensign (CR) May 2004

Our
God will see that we receive justice and fairness, but
if not…. He will make sure that we are loved and
recognized, but if not….
We will receive a perfect companion and righteous and obedient
children, but if not,… we
will have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that if we do
all we can do, we will, in His time and in His way, be delivered
and receive all that He has. - Dennis
E. Simmons, "But
If Not…," Ensign (CR), May 2004
