Faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Some people think a miracle is only a miracle if it happens instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly and patience and faith can compel things to happen that otherwise never would have come to pass.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
His judgments are just His mercy without limit His power to compensate beyond any earthly comparison.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal. Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.

Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The Lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temples. Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs.

Image
Mature love has a bliss not even imagined by newlyweds.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Those who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into His presence. To worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime to keep them thereafter is the challenge of mortality.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
There's no credit buying on eternal things, none at all. Anything that is worthwhile has to be paid for in advance.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Parents are with their children almost constantly and can observe when they are ready to be instructed. From questions or behavior or because of experiences in their own lives, they can sense that it is time to teach. Parents must know when the time for the lesson is now, right now, for their children are ready for it.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be. The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The priesthood holds consummate power. It can protect you from the plague of pornography-and it is a plague-if you are succumbing to its influence. If one is obedient, the priesthood can show how to break a habit and even erase an addiction. Holders of the priesthood have that authority and should employ it to combat evil influences.

An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Keep the fire of your testimony of the restored gospel and your witness of our Redeemer burning so brightly that our children can warm their hands by the fire of your faith.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Your secret yearnings and tearful pleadings will touch the heart of both the Father and the Son.
