More quotes by David A. Bednar

If all opposition were curtailed, if all maladies were removed, then the primary purposes of the Father's plan would be frustrated.
David A. Bednar
Satan does not have a body, and his eternal progress has been halted. Just as water flowing in a riverbed is stopped by a dam, so the adversary's eternal progress is thwarted because he does not have a physical body.

Christ lives and will cleanse, heal, guide, protect and strengthen us.
David A. Bednar

Steady, sustained, and incremental spiritual progress produces the fruit of steadfastness-and helps us to reduce the disparity between what we know and what we do. Testimony is strengthened and conversion unto the Lord is deepened through small and simple things done well over time.
David A. Bednar
A grateful person is rich in contentment.
