We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond. Many struggles come as problems and pressures that sometimes cause pain. Others come as temptations, trials, and tribulations.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

Our communications reflect in our countenance. Therefore, we must be careful not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in which we communicate.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

Christlike communications are expressed in tones of love rather than loudness. They are intended to be helpful rather than hurtful. They tend to bind us together rather than to drive us apart. They tend to build rather than to belittle.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

May we treasure the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to build and to assist others on this marvelous journey through mortality.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

We are accountable for our actions as we exercise our moral agency. If we understand this principle and make righteous choices, our lives will be blessed.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

Receiving personal revelation is not a passive process. As we seek such revelations, we must prepare for these sacred experiences.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

To properly prepare to receive personal revelation, we must repent, ask through prayer, be obedient, search the scriptures, fast, think pure thoughts, and develop a spirit of reverence.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

To pray is to have a conversation with Deity. This sacred and supernal communication with Heavenly Father is a divine and delicate process. This crucial communication should be conducted with great care and in compliance with sacred counsel.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

Irreverence not only shows disrespect to Deity but also makes it hard for the Spirit to teach us the things we need to know.

From L. Lionel Kendrick

Heavenly Father has given us a priceless gift in our capacity to communicate with each other. Our communications are at the core of our relationships with others. If we are to return home safely to Heavenly Father, we must develop righteous relationships with His children here in mortality.
