Alma 43:17-21
What would I wear if I was going to battle? What do I wear everyday to protect myself from the sins of the world. Do I dress modest?
I need to fight through life with "strength and courage" Alma 43:43 knowing that whatever happens it will all work out in the end and it is part of God's plan.
Live with faith so others can't destroy it. Alma 44:3 I need to continually be working on making my faith stronger and more powerful so that I can defend myself against the powers of the destroyer.
Live a righteous life having faith in our Father in Heaven and in the Savior of the world and everything will turn out. Regardless of how hard life is it could always be harder. Life wasn't to be enjoyed and easy it is a test and trials that we will go through to make us stronger in order to do the work we are sent to do.

5 Life Changing quotes shared in General Conference

So true! I see the quote saying that "God only gives us what we can handle" SO often... But truthfully, no one has enough strength on their own to 'handle' the big things in life. He is the one who gives us hope and strength. The most difficult circumstances aren't always given to 'strong' people, just as easy lives aren't always given to those who appear weak.
Blessing: I am able to read about the faith of others in the scriptures and how they concurred their trials in order to gain straightened for my own.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
