"There are some who believe that because they have made mistakes, they can no longer fully partake of the blessings of the gospel. How little they understand the purposes of the Lord. One of the great blessings of living the gospel is that it refines us and helps us learn from our mistakes. "We all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," yet the Atonement of Jesus Christ has the power to make us whole when we repent."

All kinds of prayers and requests: Eph 6:18
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."
Ephesians 6:18
Note that Prayer is not designed to change God. It's designed to change circumstances. God doesn't need changing. God is not the problem.

You Cannot Lift Another Until: Harold B. Lee
"You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. You must be sure, if you would rescue the man, that you yourself are setting the example of what you would have him be. You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul."
--Harold B. Lee, "Stand Ye in Holy Places", Ensign, July 1973, 121

Peace: Christ & Unk
Peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble,
or hard work,
it means to be in the midst of those things,
and still be calm in your heart.
(unk)
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you:
not as the world gives, give I to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
