        "For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing." (D&C 132:5.)

        "All this—what more could be desired or asked for?  All these blessings and numerous others to every one of us who is willing to live the commandments and be truthful and honorable in our dealings."

        "I bear witness that God has given us conditionally all these and thousands of other good things."

The Lord Keeps His Promises

"All things are possible to the Lord, and He keeps the promises He inspires His prophets to declare. Eternity is a long time. Have faith in those promises, and live to be worthy of them so that in His time the Lord can make them come true in your life. With certainty, you will receive every promised blessing for which you are worthy. I pray that it will be on this side of the veil."

"Faith, the spiritual ability to be persuaded of promises that are seen 'afar off'. . . , is a sure measure of those who truly believe."

by Helen Steiner Rice:

When God makes a promise,
It remains forever true,
For everything God promises
He unalterably will do.
When you’re disillusioned
And every hope is blighted
Recall the promises of God
And your faith will be relighted
.


Quoted by Elder Kenneth Johnson, November 2008 Ensign, p. 17 "Restoring Faith in the Family"



"In this age of one hour dry cleaning and one minute fast food franchises, it may at times seem to us as though a loving Heavenly Father has misplaced our precious promises or He has put them on hold or filed them under the wrong name. . . "When heaven's promises sometimes seem afar off, I pray that each of us will embrace these exceeding great and precious promises and never let go. . . . God will remember you."
