2. Joy comes through creation--sorrow through destruction. Every living thing can grow:Use the world wisely to realize soul growth.

The Improvement Era, June 1951, p401

Pray

“…The restored gospel makes plain the simple things we need to do [to allow God
to give us strength]. And it gives us confidence that the help we need will come if
we do those things early and persistently, long before the moment of crisis. The
first, the middle, and the last thing to do is to pray.”
