Adversity is
part of our mortal life, we agreed to come to this world knowing this would be
a provisionary period where we would be tried, we understood this would only be
a short period of time compared to eternity. As we face these challenges
and troubles we do so with the help of our Father in Heaven. We must
remain faithful and obedient to his commandments, Heavenly Father will bless
our lives that we may withstand and overcome the challenges that present
themselves. Only through these trials we are to grow spiritually stronger,
enduring to the end will bring us joy and exaltation.

(D&C 121:1,7-8) QUENTIN L. COOK “Hope Ya Know, We Had a Hard Time”
October 2008, General Conference https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/hope-ya-know-we-had-a-hard-time?lang=eng
“We know from the scriptures
that some trials are for our good and are suited for our own personal
development. 17 We also know that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. 18
It is also true that every cloud we see doesn’t result in rain. Regardless of
the challenges, trials, and hardships we endure, the reassuring doctrine of the
Atonement wrought by Jesus Christ includes Alma’s teaching that the Savior
would take upon Him our infirmities and “succor his people according to their
infirmities.” QUENTIN L. COOK “Hope Ya Know, We Had a Hard Time” October
2008,
“The worst whirlwinds are the temptations of the
adversary. Sin has always been part of the world, but it has never been so
accessible, insatiable, and acceptable. There is, of course, a powerful force
that will subdue the whirlwinds of sin. It is called repentance.” NEAL L.
ANDERSEN “Spiritual
Whirlwinds” April 2014, General Conference https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/spiritual-whirlwinds?lang=eng
