At times we will have unanswered questions and feelings of being unimportant, discouraged, alone, and unseen. However, my friends, we must press forward with faith in Jesus Christ and remember His words: “Let not your heart be troubled.” “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” […]
In the scriptures, temperance is presented as an essential part of the progress in our spiritual journey, leading us toward patience, godliness, and compassion while refining our feelings, our words, and our actions. – Ulisses Soares, “Adorned with the Virtue of Temperance,” Liahona (CR) November 2025
He reminds us that He “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister” and then invites us to follow His example by going the extra mile, giving to those who ask of us, and loving our neighbor.

Barlow, “Lovest Thou Me?” Liahona (CR) […]
Inherent in the covenants we make with God, beginning with baptism, is our responsibility to love and care for each other as members of the family of God, members of the body of Christ… – J. Anette Dennis, “Cheering Each Other On,” Liahona (CR) November 2025
