Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the “high priest of good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11).

More quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
Pray earnestly and fast with purpose and devotion. Some difficulties, like devils, do not come out save by fasting and by prayer. Ask in righteousness and you shall receive. Knock with conviction and it shall be opened unto you.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Don't hyperventilate about something that happened at 9:00 in the morning when the grace of God is trying to reward you at 6:00 in the evening.

It is obvious that the bumper sticker question What would Jesus do? will not always bring a popular response.
Jeffrey R. Holland
If something is buried in the past, leave it buried. . . . Such dwelling on past lives, including past mistakes, is just not right! It is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. . . . In cases of marriage and family, . . . we can end up destroying so many others.
Jeffrey R. Holland
There is again a living prophet on the earth speaking in the name of the Lord. And how we need such guidance! Our times are turbulent and difficult. We see wars internationally and distress domestically. Neighbors all around us face personal heartaches and family sorrows. Legions know fear and troubles of a hundred kinds.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Rich or poor, we are to “do what we can” when others are in need.
Jeffrey R. Holland
God expects you not simply to face the future He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities.
Jeffrey R. Holland
So be kind, and be grateful that God is kind. It is a happy way to live.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Please know that your Father in Heaven loves you and so does His Only Begotten Son. When they speak to you--and They will--it will not be in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but it will be with a voice still and small, a voice tender and kind. It will be with the tongue of angels.
Jeffrey R. Holland
God wants us to be stronger than we are--more fixed in our purpose, more certain of our commitments, eventually needing less coddling from Him, showing more willingness to shoulder some of the burden of His heavy load. In short, He wants us to be more like He is and, if you haven't noticed, some of us are not like that yet.

Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet

Along with filters on computers and a lock on affections, remember that the only real control in life is self-control.
Jeffrey R. Holland
In our time the only restraint left is self-retraint.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I know we can each do something, however small that act may seem to be. We can pay an honest tithe and give our fast and free-will offerings, according to our circumstances. And we can watch for other ways to help.

Somebody like you taught somebody like me.

The Church is not a monastery for the isolation of perfect people. It is more like a hospital provided for those who wish to get well.

The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work. Please know that it is worth it then, now, and forever.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Although I may not be my brother's keeper, I am my brother's brother, and 'because I have been given much, I too must give.'
Jeffrey R. Holland
Sometimes it seems especially difficult to submit to great tribulation when we look around and see others seemingly much less obedient who triumph even as we weep. But time is measured only unto man, says Alma (see Alma 40:8), and God has a very good memory.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I especially wish to praise and encourage young mothers. The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work... Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.
