More quotes by David A. Bednar
All of us now are serving and will continue to serve as lifelong missionaries. We are missionaries every day in our families, in our schools, in our places of employment, and in our communities. Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries.

Let me recommend that periodically you and I offer a prayer in which we only give thanks and express gratitude. Ask for nothing simply let our souls rejoice and strive to communicate appreciation with all the energy of our hearts.

Testimony is the beginning of and a prerequisite to continuing conversion. Testimony is a point of departure it is not an ultimate destination. Strong testimony is the foundation upon which conversion is established. Testimony alone is not and will not be enough to protect us in the latter-day storm of darkness and evil in which we are living.

Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results.
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
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
Learning by faith and from experience are two of the central features of the Father's plan of happiness. The Savior preserved moral agency through the Atonement and made it possible for us to act and to learn by faith.
David A. Bednar
A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment.
David A. Bednar
Trust and confidence in Christ and a ready reliance on His merits, mercy, and grace lead to hope, through His Atonement, in the Resurrection and eternal life. Such faith and hope invite into our lives the sweet peace of conscience for which we all yearn.
David A. Bednar
Understanding who we are, where we came from, and why we are upon the earth places upon each of us a great responsibility both to learn how to learn and to learn to love learning.
David A. Bednar
Pray and seek for strength to change our circumstances rather than praying for our circumstances to be changed
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.

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