"Through studying and pondering the scriptures and the words of the latter-day
prophets, we can feast upon the words of Christ, and the words will tell us all
the things that we should do. (See
2 Ne. 32:3.) Then we must
nourish the word and allow it to take root. (See
Alma 32:41-43.) After
we hearken to the word and hold fast to it, we are promised that temptations and
the fiery darts of the adversary will not overpower us. (See
1 Ne. 15:24.) We will be
able to recognize the truth when we hear it just as the shepherds and the Wise
Men knew when they were told about the Saviors birth. The scriptures are the
word of God and a light to us and the world, and we can follow this light as if
they were our guiding star." - Betty Jo N. Jepsen, "By
Way of Invitation (Alma
5:62)," Ensign (CR), November 1992, p.76

"We can call upon our Heavenly Father in
the name of our Savior. Prayer provides an opportunity for us to express
gratitude. Taking an inventory of our blessings fills us with hope. 'Pray
unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this
love.' (Moro.
7:48.)
"We can ask for what we need hour
by hour and minute by minute. It is possible to have this personal conversation
with our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by kneeling in prayer, just as
surely as if we could kneel beside the manger and see the Savior there."

Way of Invitation" (Alma 5:62),

"There may be times when we excuse
ourselves for unkindness because we are not feeling our best or our
mood is not just right. It is easy to act kindly toward others when
things are going well in our lives. But perhaps the real measure of our
kindness comes if we can be so when we are tired, disappointed, or
suffering because of an unkind deed done to us. Are we kind when all is
not well?" - Betty Jo Jepsen, "Kindness—A Part of God's Plan," Ensign (CR), November 1990, p. 91
