2 Kings 6:15-17 You have help from both sides of the veil and you must never forget that.

Elder Holland:

If Elisha is looking for a good time to be depressed, this is it. His only ally is the president of the local teacher’s quorum. It is one prophet and one lad against the world. And the boy is petrified. He sees the enemy everywhere—difficulty and despair and problems and burdens everywhere. ... With faltering faith the boy cries, “Alas, my master! How shall we do?”….

In the gospel of Jesus Christ you have help from both sides of the veil, and you must never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike—and they will—you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham’s seed. (Jeffrey R. Holland, "For Times of Trouble," BYU Speeches, Mar. 18, 1980)

1 Kings 19:11-12 President Packer. The spirit is so gentle, we may not feel it if we are preoccupied.

President Packer:

“The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting or shaking us with a heavy hand. Rather it whispers. It caresses so gently that if we are preoccupied we many not feel it at all…. “Occasionally it will press just firmly enough for us to pay heed. But most of the time, if we do not heed the gentle feeling, the spirit will withdraw and wait until we come seeking and listening” (“The Candle of the Lord” Ensign, Jan 1983, 53) 

1 Kings 19:11-12. Elder Holland. The Lord speaks to us in a voice still and small.

Elder 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” (The Tongue of Angeles, Ensign May 2007, 18)

1 Kings 18:21 You are free to choose to follow the Lord or not.

1 Kings 18:21

“You are responsible for the choices you make. God is mindful of you and will help you make good choices, even if your family and friends use their agency in ways that are not right. Have the moral courage to stand firm in obeying God’s will, even if you have to stand alone. As you do this, you set an example for others to follow.

“While you are free to choose your course of action, you are not free to choose the consequences. Whether for good or bad, consequences follow as a natural result of the choices you make” (For the Strength of Youth [booklet, 2011], 2).

1 Kings 6:12-13. Do nothing which would keep you from entering the temple.

President Monson:

“Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings. . . . Now my young friends, who are in your teenage years, always have the temple in your sights. Do nothing which would keep you from entering its doors, and partaking of the sacred and eternal blessings there.

“Your sacrifice may be bringing your life into compliance with what is required to receive a recommend, perhaps by forsaking long-held habits which disqualify you” (“The Holy Temple—a Beacon to the World,” Ensign, May 2011, 92–93).
