  3. There are reasons to doubt and there are reasons to believe. Using your agency to CHOOSE belief empowers you, and gives you ownership of your faith. Elder Neil L. Andersen said: “Faith does not fall upon us by chance or stay with us by birthright. Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe.” Choose to Believe

  7. “I’ve always had an inquiring mind. I”m not satisfied just to accept things. I like to follow through and study things out. I learned early to put aside those gospel questions that I couldn’t answer. I had a shelf of things I didn’t understand, but as I’ve grown older and studied and prayed and thought about each problem, one by one I’ve been able to better understand them. I still have some questions on that shelf, but I’ve come to understand so many other things in my life that I’m willing to bide my time for the rest of the answers.” Camilla Kimball Load the Shelf

  8. “Spiritual work is just that - work. The answers don’t always come quickly. Revelation tends to come line upon line and sometimes syllable upon syllable...Typically, receiving revelation is rigorous spiritual work.” - Sheri Dew “To gain knowledge of great worth requires extraordinary personal effort. This is particularly true when our desire is to obtain spiritual knowledge.” - Elder Richard G. Scott Work for Answers
