Helaman 5:12. My favorite scripture... has been an answer to prayers on more than one occasion... Love it!
I love this scripture. I wish I remembered it more so that I didn't worry so much because my foundation is in Christ and I do have a strong relationship with my Savior and my Father in Heaven. I am just stubborn sometimes and don't ask for help thinking I can do it on my own when in reality we can't do anything on our own. That is why I am so grateful I know that God knows me perfectly to send me help even when I don't ask for it and when I think I can do things on my own. 
As we build our foundation on Christ we will be the strongest men and women on the earth and be able to get through the hard times with our Savior by our side. Building a foundation takes a lot of work though it doesn't just come all at once we must always be working on it and making sure we are doing the things asked of us like; reading our scriptures, saying our prayers, going to church, going to the temple and so much more. 
It says in the scripture that if we have a sure foundation we cannot fall. I believe that is true. It doesn't mean we won't have a storm or waves come into our lives that make life hard but we will be stronger enough with our foundations built on Christ to withhold them and get through the hard times. 
"Prayer is our greatest unused power."

Reminds me of my favorite primary song, the wise man built his house upon the rock.

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...
