"It takes faith--unseeing faith--for young people to proceed immediately with their family responsibilities in the face of financial uncertainties. It takes faith for the young woman to bear her family instead of accepting employment, especially when schooling for the young husband is to be finished. It takes faith to observe the Sabbath when 'time and a half' can be had working,when sales can be made, when merchandise can be sold. It takes great faith to pay tithes when funds are scarce and demands are great.It takes faith to fast and have family prayers and to observe the Word of Wisdom..But know this--that all these are of the planting, while faithful, devout families, spiritual security, peace, and eternal life are the harvests...But know this: that undaunted faith can stop the mouths of lions, make ineffective the fiery flames, make dry corridors through beds of rivers and seas. Unwavering faith can protect against deluge, terminate droughts, heal the sick and bring heavenly manifestations. Indomitable faith can help us live the commandments and thereby bring blessings unnumbered with peace, perfection, and exaltation in the kingdom of God. May this be our desire to develop this kind of faith and may we finally attain the blessings which such perfect faith can bring.."
--President Spencer W. Kimball
Life has many curve balls and many unexpecteds. But it takes faith to endure and faith to persevere. It takes faith to know you will be taken care of and it takes faith to act knowing that because you are going and doing you will be blessed and given what you need. It takes faith.
