"Each day we decide what we will do and what we will not do,
among myriad alternatives. When we choose to obey the
commandments cheerfully as our first priority, neither murmuring
about nor measuring the things He commands, we become the
handmaids of the Lord and fishers of men and cast our nets on
the right side of our own ships. We simply go and do the things
the Lord has commanded, even when we are weary, trusting that He
will help us to do exactly as He asks. (See 1
Ne. 3:7.) As we do so, the Lord helps our unbelief, and
our faith becomes powerful, vibrant, and unshakable. The Prophet
Joseph wrote from Liberty Jail, 'Therefore, dearly beloved
brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power;
and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance [or
faith], to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be
revealed.' (D&C
123:17.)" - L. Whitney Clayton, "Help
Thou Mine Unbelief," Ensign (CR), November 2001, p.28

"Just as the Savior stood ready to help
this father whose son was 'sore vexed,' (Matt.
17:15.) so is He ready to help our unbelief today so
that with faith we can survive our mortal struggles and 'come
off conqueror.' (D&C
10:5.)" - L. Whitney Clayton, "Help
Thou Mine Unbelief," Ensign (CR), November 2001, p.28

"As popular culture across the world degenerates, sleaze
increasingly saturates the media, entertainment, advertising,
and the Internet. But popularity according to the world’s
prevailing norms is a very perilous scale to use to measure
what’s right or even what’s not dangerous. A movie or television
show may be well known and well liked by millions of viewers and
nevertheless portray images and conduct that are pornographic.
If something in a movie 'isn’t too bad,' that automatically
means that it isn’t too good either. Thus, the fact that others
watch movies or open Web sites that aren’t appropriate is no
excuse for us. Priesthood holders’ lives should emulate the
standards of the Savior and His Church, not the standards of the
world." - L. Whitney Clayton, "Blessed
Are All the Pure in Heart," General Conference, 6

“Burdens
provide opportunities to practice virtues that contribute to
eventual perfection. They invite us to yield ‘to the enticings
of the Holy Spirit, and [put] off the natural man and [become]
a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and [become]
as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love,
willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to
inflict upon [us], even as a child doth submit to his father.’
Thus burdens become blessings, though often such blessings are
well disguised and may require time, effort, and faith to
accept and understand.” – L. Clayton

This work of the Lord is indeed great and marvelous, but it
moves forward essentially unnoticed by many of mankind’s
political, cultural, and academic leaders. It progresses one
heart and one family at a time, silently and unobtrusively,
its sacred message blessing people everywhere. - L.
Whitney Clayton, "The
Time Shall Come," Ensign (CR) October 2011
