More quotes by David A. Bednar
What we know is not always reflected in what we do.
David A. Bednar
Inspired questions will bring about inspired answers. Seek for the companionship of the Holy Ghost as you prepare.
David A. Bednar
I witness the reality and divinity of our Eternal Father, of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Ghost. I testify that our Father hears and answers our prayers. May each of us strive with greater resolve to ask in faith and thereby make our prayers truly meaningful.
David A. Bednar
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others.
David A. Bednar
As we gain experience with the Holy Ghost, we learn that the intensity with which we feel the Spirit's influence is not always the same.
David A. Bednar
Conversion is an offering of self, of love, and of loyalty we give to God in gratitude for the gift of testimony.
David A. Bednar
Christ lives and will cleanse, heal, guide, protect and strengthen us.
David A. Bednar
Testimony is personal knowledge, based upon the witness of the Holy Ghost, that certain facts of eternal significance are true.
David A. Bednar
Every sincere prayer is heard and answered by our Heavenly Father, but the answers we receive may not be what we expect or come to us when we want or in the way we anticipate.
David A. Bednar
Within the sound of my voice are many young women, young men, and children. I plead with you to be worthy, to be steadfast, and to look forward with great anticipation to the day you will receive the ordinances and blessings of the temple.
David A. Bednar
One of my favorite activities as a priesthood leader is visiting members of the Church in their homes. I especially enjoy calling upon and talking with members who commonly are described as 'less active.'
David A. Bednar
It frankly does not make sense to occasionally 'fill up' with water, with long periods of dehydration in between. The same thing is true spiritually. Spiritual thirst is a need for living water. A constant flow of living water is far superior to sporadic sipping.
David A. Bednar
Pray and seek for strength to change our circumstances rather than praying for our circumstances to be changed
David A. Bednar
Can we hush the fears that so easily and frequently beset us in our contemporary world? The answer to this question is an unequivocal yes. Three basic principles are central to receiving this blessing in our lives: (1) look to Christ, (2) build upon the foundation of Christ, and (3) press forward with faith in Christ.
David A. Bednar
A light turned on in a dark room is like receiving a message from God quickly, completely, and all at once.
David A. Bednar
Would the Lord send one of the Twelve Apostles halfway around the world to help just one person? The answer is YES. He does it all the time.
David A. Bednar
To be offended is a choice we make it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
David A. Bednar
The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests.
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
Receiving the authority of the priesthood by the laying on of hands is an important beginning, but it is not enough. Ordination confers authority, but righteousness is required to act with power as we strive to lift souls, to teach and testify, to bless and counsel, and to advance the work of salvation.
