Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice
"Looking back, I know for sure that the promises of the Lord, if perhaps not always swift, are always certain. ...Patience means to abide in faith, knowing that sometimes it is in the waiting rather than in the receiving that we grow the most." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Continue in Patience," April 2010
Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice
"Patience [is] far more than simply waiting for something to happen—patience require[s] actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results [don't] appear instantly or without effort.
There is an important concept here: patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!" President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Continue in Patience," April 2010
