GEMS-Teachings: God Is with His People

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
God Is with His People
—————————————————

“God is with this people. But we are required to hearken to His voice,
obey His commandments, and humble ourselves before Him. . . . There is a
calmness prevailing among the Mormons–so called–that
is a marvel and a wonder to the world. . . . The reason of our calmness
is–God is our friend, our lawgiver, our deliverer. If the Lord
cannot sustain His work, we certainly cannot. But He can. He has always
done it, and will do it to the end. Therefore I say to the Saints, fear
not. Trust in God. Let not your hearts be faint. Let your prayers ascend to
the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth day and night. Ask what you want. When you
do that, the Lord will answer your prayers, if you ask what is right. There
is where our strength lies. It is in God.”

Topics: peace, prayer
