Richard G Scott:
“It is so hard when sincere prayer about something you
desire very much is not answered the way you want. It is difficult to
understand why your exercise of deep and sincere faith from an obedient life
does not grant the desired result. … At times it is difficult to recognize what
is best or expedient for you over time. Your life will be easier when you
accept that what God does in your life is for your eternal good” (“Using the
Supernal Gift of Prayer,” Ensign May 2007, 9).
Elder Dallin H. Oaks.
“The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Faith means trust – trust in God’s will, trust in His way of
doing things, and trust in His timetable. We should not try to impose our
timetable on His…. “Indeed, we cannot have true faith in the Lord without also
having compete trust in the Lord’s will and in the Lord’s timing” (“Timing,”
Ensign Oct. 2003, 12).
