Thomas S. Monson
"My beloved brothers and sisters, communication with our Father in Heaven?—including our prayers to Him and His inspiration to us---is necessary in order for us to weather the storms and trials of life. The Lord invites us, ‘Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me.’ As we do so, we will feel His Spirit in our lives, providing us the desire and the courage to stand strong and firm in righteousness---to ‘stand … in holy places, and be not moved’ (“Stand in Holy Places,” Ensign, November 2011).
