Faith

1) "Although His time is not always our time, we can be sure that the Lord keeps His promises." (Henry B. Eyring, Nov. 2012, “Where Is the Pavilion?”, Ensign, http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/where-is-the-pavilion?lang=eng)

2) "I can’t think of any more powerful weapons than faith and a knowledge of the scriptures in the which are contained the Word of God.  One so armoured and one so prepared with those weapons is prepared to go out against the enemy and is more to be feared than the enemies of light."  (President Harold B. Lee, 9 Nov. 1954, “Feed Shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace,” BYU, audio: http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=690)

3) “You need never be discouraged or afraid. The way through difficulties has always been prepared for you, and you will find it if you exercise faith.” (President Henry B. Eyring, May 2008, “Walk in the Light,” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/2008/05/walk-in-the-light?lang=eng)

4)  “Please understand that having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and keeping His commandments are and always will be the defining test of mortality. Above all else, each of us must realize that when one is tone-deaf to the music of faith, he or she is out of tune with the Spirit. As the prophet Nephi taught, ‘Ye have heard his voice … ; and he hath spoken unto you in a still small voice, but ye were past feeling, that ye could not feel his words’.” (Elder Quentin L. Cook, May 2012, “In Tune with the Music of Faith,” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/2012/05/in-tune-with-the-music-of-faith?lang=eng)

5) “You can learn to use faith more effectively by applying this principle taught by Moroni: ‘Faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith’. Thus, every time you try your faith, that is, act in worthiness on an impression, you will receive the confirming evidence of the Spirit. Those feelings will fortify your faith. As you repeat that pattern, your faith will become stronger. The Lord knows your needs. When you ask with honesty and real intent, He will prompt you to do that which will increase your ability to act in faith. With consistent practice, faith will become a vibrant, powerful, uplifting, inspiring force in your life. As you walk to the boundary of your understanding into the twilight of uncertainty, exercising faith, you will be led to find solutions you would not obtain otherwise. I testify that I know that is true.” (Elder Richard G. Scott, May 2003, “The Sustaining Power of Faith in Times of Uncertainty and Testing,” Liahona, http://www.lds.org/liahona/2003/05/the-sustaining-power-of-faith-in-times-of-uncertainty-and-testing?lang=eng)

6) “Dynamic faith in the Lord leads to complete conversion and a consummate commitment to His holy work. We become children of the covenant; we become His children....  Dynamic faith in the Lord brings conversion, a mighty change of heart, a change of thinking, from the ways of the world to the ways of Deity. It causes one to repent with ‘full purpose of heart’.” (Elder Russell M. Nelson, March 2008, “Faith in Jesus Christ,” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/2008/03/faith-in-jesus-christ?lang=eng)

7)  “If we do not have a deep foundation of faith and a solid testimony of truth, we may have difficulty withstanding the harsh storms and icy winds of adversity which inevitably come to each of us.” (President Thomas S. Monson, February 2010, “On Being Spiritually Prepared,” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/2010/02/on-being-spiritually-prepared?lang=eng)

8)  “Like the intense fire that transforms iron into steel, as we remain faithful during the fiery trial of our faith, we are spiritually refined and strengthened.” (Elder Neil L. Andersen, Ensign, 2012, “Trial of Your Faith,” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/2012/11/trial-of-your-faith?lang=eng)

9)  “Even if you exercise your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you. He loves you to a depth and completeness you cannot conceive of in your mortal state. Indeed, were you to know His entire plan, you would never ask for that which is contrary to it even though your feelings tempt you to do so. Sincere faith gives understanding and strength to accept the will of our Heavenly Father when it differs from our own. We can accept His will with peace and assurance, confident that His infinite wisdom surpasses our own ability to comprehend fully His plan as it unfolds a piece at a time.” (Elder Richard G. Scott, May 2003, “The Sustaining Power of Faith in Times of Uncertainty and Testing,” Liahona, https://www.lds.org/liahona/2003/05/the-sustaining-power-of-faith-in-times-of-uncertainty-and-testing?lang=eng)

10)  “...the Savior taught the Nephites that they must always pray to the Father in his name, adding: ‘And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you’ (3 Ne. 18:20). Here the Savior reminds us that faith, no matter how strong it is, cannot produce a result contrary to the will of him whose power it is. The exercise of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is always subject to the order of heaven, to the goodness and will and wisdom and timing of the Lord. That is why we cannot have true faith in the Lord without also having complete trust in the Lord’s will and in the Lord’s timing. When we have that kind of faith and trust in the Lord, we have true security in our lives.” (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, May 1994, “’Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,’” Ensign, https://www.lds.org/ensign/1994/05/faith-in-the-lord-jesus-christ?lang=eng)
