"The Lord has promised to heal our broken hearts and 'to set at
liberty them that are bruised' (Luke
4:18); to give power to the faint, to heal the wounded soul, and
to turn our weakness into strength (see Isa.
40:29; Jacob
2:8; Ether
12:27); to take upon Him our pains and sicknesses, to blot out
our transgressions if we repent, and loose the bands of death (see Alma
7:11-13). He promised that if we will build our lives upon His
rock, the devil will have no power over us (see Hel.
5:12). And He has vowed that He will never leave us or forsake
us (see Heb. 13:5).
There is simply no mortal equivalent. Not in terms of commitment,
power, or love. He is our only chance." - Sheri L. Dew, "Our
Only Chance," Ensign, May 1999, p. 67

"Because God wants us to come home after having become more like Him
and His Son, part of this developmental process, of necessity,
consists of showing unto us our weaknesses. Hence, if we have ultimate
hope we will be submissive, because, with His help, those weaknesses
can even become strengths (see Ether
12:27)." - Neal A. Maxwell, "Hope
through the Atonement of Jesus Christ," Ensign, Nov. 1998, p. 63

"Moroni taught the great principle that the Lord has allowed all of us
to have weaknesses, but he added that the Lord will show us our
weaknesses if we humble ourselves and come to Him. Then he added the
crowning thought that those weaknesses can become our strengths as we
overcome them. (See Ether
12:27.) This is true of low self-esteem. With the Lord's help we
can overcome that serious impediment." - John K. Carmack, "To My
Single Friends," Ensign, Mar. 1989, p. 31

"Should there be anyone who feels he is too weak to change the onward-
and downward-moving course of his life, or should there be those who
fail to resolve to do better because of that greatest of fears, the
fear of failure, there is no more comforting assurance to be had than
the words of the Lord: 'My grace is sufficient for all men that humble
themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and
have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto
them.' (Ether 12:27.)"
- Thomas S. Monson, "The Precious Gift of Sight," Ensign, Sept. 1989,
p. 5

Life provides for each of us a full-length, wide-screen panorama of
opportunities to run into ourselves. The eminent philosopher Pogo
expressed it this way: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!” (Walt
Kelly.)
In more eloquent terms, Moroni was told by the Lord: “And if men come
unto me I will show unto them their weakness …; for if they humble
themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak
things become strong unto them.” (Ether
12:27.) – Stephen D. Nadauld, “Faith
and Good Works,” Ensign (CR) May 1992
