"While the battle rages, we need not fear…The Lord will help you, your family, and others you love who need special help. We know the outcome. The Savior will triumph over all!
We recognize the enemy and understand his plan. The pride of the world seeks to destroy faith by casting doubt on the existence of God, or, if not his existence, his personal care and concern for his children.
As you arm yourself for battle, your protection comes from God who is our Father. You have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and you take His name upon [you]. You are commissioned as a disciple of Christ, as defenders of the faith.
You are armed with righteousness and …the power of God in great glory. It is because something is happening inside of you, as well as the outward, public display of your discipleship. Your belief in Christ and your love for Him fills your soul… The power of the Gift of the Holy Ghost is magnified and elevated in [you]. Happiness and peace follow—even in times of difficulty.”
You are absolutely critical to this cause. Uniting together from different backgrounds, countries, cultures, and life experiences, you help advance the stone cut without hands, as it rolls forth to fill the whole earth.
I look forward to the future. I hope you do too. To your children and grandchildren, your friends and associates, you can speak about the future with optimism, joy, and anticipation.
You are living your mortality in a glorious time of destiny."
Elder Neil L Anderson, Apostle
BYU Women's Conference 2012
