We have moral agency as a gift of God. Rather than the right to choose to be free of influence, it is the inalienable right to submit ourselves to whichever of those powers we choose.

More quotes by Henry B. Eyring
The Savior warns that if we start along the path and go far enough and then fail and deny Him, it would have been better if we had never begun.
Henry B. Eyring
Jesus Christ lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us. In moments of pain, loneliness, or confusion, we do not need to see Jesus Christ to know that He is aware of our circumstances and that His mission is to bless.
Henry B. Eyring
Parents who struggle to get a witness of the Savior into the heart of a child will be helped as they seek for a way to bring the words and the spirit of the Book of Mormon into the home and all the lives in their family.
Henry B. Eyring
We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord's service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and our right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word.
Henry B. Eyring
The message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is that we can and must expect to become better as long as we live.
Henry B. Eyring
Melchizedek Priesthood holders who are fathers in sealed families have been taught what they must do. There is nothing that has come or will come into your family as important as the sealing blessings. There is nothing more important than honoring the marriage and family covenants you have made or will make in the temples of God.
Henry B. Eyring
What all of us long for in our hearts, at Christmastime and always, is to feel bound together in love with the sweet assurance that it can last forever.
Henry B. Eyring
God loves his children more than any earthly parent, so think what your kindness to his children means to him.
Henry B. Eyring
If we have faith in Jesus Christ the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing.
Henry B. Eyring
As we do what He would have us do for His children, the Lord considers it kindness to Him, and we will feel closer to Him as we feel His love and His approval. In time, we will become like Him, and will think of the judgement day with happy anticipation.
Henry B. Eyring
Those who are faithful to God are protected and prospered. That comes as the result of serving God and keeping His commandments. But with those blessings comes the temptation to forget their source. It is easy to begin to feel the blessings were granted not by a loving God on whom we depend but by our own powers.
Henry B. Eyring
You could ask yourself, 'How did God Bless me today?' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings. And sometimes you will have gifts brought to your mind which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God's hand in your life.
Henry B. Eyring
Have you felt, as I have, the impression to help someone only to find that what you were inspired to give was exactly what someone needed at that very moment? That is a wonderful assurance that God knows all of our needs and counts on us to fill the needs of others around us.
Henry B. Eyring
We lighten the loads of others best by helping the Lord strengthen them.

Satan will always work on the Saints of God to undermine their faith in priesthood keys. One way he does it is to point out the humanity of those who hold them. He can in that way weaken our testimony and so cut us loose from the line of keys by which the Lord ties us to Him and can take us and our families home to Him and to our Heavenly Father.
Henry B. Eyring
Heavenly Father hears your prayers, He loves you. He knows your name. He loves you beyond your ability to comprehend.
Henry B. Eyring
The ideal God holds for us is to form families in the way most likely to lead to happiness and away from sorrow.
Henry B. Eyring
In the priesthood we share the sacred duty to labor for the souls of men. We must do more than learn that this is our duty. It must go down into our hearts so deeply that neither the many demands on our efforts in the bloom of life nor the trials that come with age can turn us from that purpose.
Henry B. Eyring
Logical thinking will not be enough to get answers to the questions that matter most in life. We need revelation from God.
Henry B. Eyring
Most people stop learning out of fear. They are afraid they cannot learn.
