Preparing for the ups and downs of life.
Robert D. Hales
Image
Through the Savior's Atonement and by following these basic patterns of faithfulness, we receive power from on high to face the challenges of life. We need this divine power today more than ever.
Robert D. Hales
Image
As our understanding of obedience deepens, we recognize the essential role of agency.
Robert D. Hales
Image
We sometimes think that being grateful is what we do after our problems are solved, but how terribly shortsighted that is. How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain?
Robert D. Hales
Image
It has always touched my heart to sense so deeply how much the Father loved His eldest son.
Robert D. Hales
Image
We learn to endure to the end by learning to finish our current responsibilities, and we simply continue doing it all of our lives. We cannot expect to learn endurance in our later years if we have developed the habit of quitting when things get difficult now.

If ye love me keep my commandments
Robert D. Hales
Image
In some quiet way, the expression and feelings of gratitude have a wonderful cleansing or healing nature. Gratitude brings warmth to the giver and the receiver alike.
Robert D. Hales
Image
Tests and trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His Son. He already knows, and we have the opportunity to learn, that no matter how difficult our circumstances, all these things shall be for our experience, and our good.
Robert D. Hales
Image
We become converted and spiritually self-reliant as we prayerfully live our covenants-through worthily partaking of the sacrament, being worthy of a temple recommend, and sacrificing to serve others.
Robert D. Hales
Image
It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race-it is how you cross the finish line that will matter.
Robert D. Hales
Image
Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness.
Robert D. Hales
Image
Oh, how we need general conference! Through conferences our faith is fortified and our testimonies deepened. And when we are converted, we strengthen each other to stand strong amid the fiery darts of these last days.
Robert D. Hales
Image
What is the definition of a friend? Friends are people who make it easier to live the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Robert D. Hales
Image
We have not been left alone. We have the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost to lead and guide us in an otherwise very dark and dreary world.
Robert D. Hales
Image
How we conduct ourselves in this life will determine what we will be in all the eternities to come. To receive the blessings of the sealing that our Heavenly Father has given to us, we have to keep the commandments and conduct ourselves in such a way that our families will want to live with us in the eternities.

What is said is not as important as what [you] hear and what [you] feel.
Robert D. Hales
Image
Work together as a family, even if it may be faster and easier to do the job ourselves. Talk with our sons and daughters as we work together.
Robert D. Hales
Image
To find the gifts we have been given, we must pray and fast. Often Patriarchal blessings tell us the gifts we have received and declare the promise of gifts we can receive if we seek after them. I urge you each to discover your gifts and to seek after those that will bring direction to your life's work and that will further the work of heaven.

The blessings we enjoy now are because we made the choice to follow the Savior before this life. To everyone hearing or reading these words, whoever you are and whatever your past may be, remember this: it is not too late to make that same choice again to follow him.
