"Elisha the prophet was surrounded by the whole Syrian army
determined to kill him. He reassured his worried and only companion,
who was busy counting Syrian heads, that when we are on the Lord's
side, regardless of numbers or worldly power, we are in the
majority. I testify that the consoling words of Elisha to his young
friend are still true today: 'They that be with us are more than
they that be with them' (2 Kgs. 6:16). The Lord will surround and
protect our young people with chariots of fire, as He did for
Elisha, in the form of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles,
neighbors, leaders, and friends who will vigorously love them and
lead them." - Sharon G. Larsen, "Fear
Not: For They That Be with Us Are More," Ensign (CR),

"Sometimes things go wrong even though we have done our very best. A
Lamb innocent and pure, our Savior weeps with and for us. When we
always remember Him, He can stand with us 'at all times and in all
things, and in all places that [we] may be in.' His 'faithfulness is
stronger than the cords of death.' In drawing us to Him, our Savior
also draws us to our Father in Heaven. While some things are
imperfect on earth, we can trust our Heavenly Father to complete
'redemption’s grand design, where justice, love, and mercy meet in
harmony divine!'" - Gerrit W.

It is my firm belief that if as
individual people, as families, communities, and nations, we could,
like Peter, fix our eyes on Jesus, we too might walk triumphantly
over “the swelling waves of disbelief” and remain “unterrified amid
the rising winds of doubt.” But if we turn away our eyes from him in
whom we must believe, as it is so easy to do and the world is so
much tempted to do, if we look to the power and fury of those
terrible and destructive elements around us rather than to him who
can help and save us, then we shall inevitably sink in a sea of
conflict and sorrow and despair. - Howard

It does not matter
what our personal struggles are—whether they are disease or prolonged
loneliness or suffering the temptations and tests of the adversary—the
Good Shepherd is there. He calls us by name and says, “Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” - Hugo
Montoya, “Tested
and Tempted—but Helped,” Ensign (CR) November 2015

All that is of God encompasses love, light, and truth. Yet as human
beings we live in a fallen world, sometimes full of darkness and
confusion. It comes as no surprise that mistakes will be made,
injustices will occur, and sins will be committed. As a result,
there is not a soul alive who will not, at one time or another, be
the victim to someone else’s careless actions, hurtful conduct, or
even sinful behavior. That is one thing we all have in common.
Gratefully, God, in His love and mercy for His children, has
prepared a way to help us navigate these sometimes-turbulent
experiences of life. – Kevin R.

Healing Ointment of Forgiveness,” Ensign (CR) May 2016

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
