Quotes from Elder Andersen

“How do you remain “steadfast and immovable” during a trial of faith? You immerse yourself in the very things that helped build your core of faith: you exercise faith in Christ, you pray, you ponder the scriptures, you repent, you keep the commandments, and you serve others.” (Trial of Your Faith, General Conference Oct. 2012.)

“Heavenly Father, how can I serve...when I know so little?” I believed in the Church, but I felt my spiritual knowledge was very limited. As I prayed, the feeling came: “You don’t know everything, but you know enough!” (You Know Enough, General Conference Oct. 2008)

“Our desire to share the gospel takes all of us to our knees, and it should, because we need the Lord’s help.” (It’s a Miracle, General Conference April 2013.)

“We cannot always explain the difficulties of our mortality. Sometimes life seems very unfair—especially when our greatest desire is to do exactly what the Lord has commanded. As the Lord’s servant, I assure you that this promise is certain: “Faithful members whose circumstances do not allow them to receive the blessings of eternal marriage and parenthood in this life will receive all promised blessings in the eternities, [as] they keep the covenants they have made with God.” (Children, General Conference October 2011)

“Our journey of discipleship is not a dash around the track, nor is it fully comparable to a lengthy marathon. In truth, it is a lifelong migration toward a more celestial world.” (What Thinks Christ of Me?, General Conference April 2012)
