"A Latter-day Saint woman who follows Christ's example in her daily living begins to fulfill the plan of God our Father for her. By so doing she can be a powerful influence for good in today's world and meet the challenges of mortality. The Latter-day Saint woman who follows Christ is a true Christian in the very best sense of the world. She is a woman of faith who trusts God and is confident and fearless.
"A woman of faith trusts God and faces adversity with hope. She knows of his interest in her life. She knows that he knows her. She loves his words and drinks deeply of that living water . . . In prayer she seeks the kind, unfaltering guidance and help of a listening Heavenly Father. As she prays, she listens, allowing the communication to be two-way.
"A woman of faith is confident because she understands the divine plan of our Heavenly Father and her role to bless lives. She is confident any sacrifice she makes is worth something in an eternal sense.
"A woman of faith is fearless. There is no ambiguity, no uncertain trump in her life. She can live a principled life because she studies the doctrine and teachings of a perfect teacher, the Master. She is a noble example to all who know her. She is less than perfect, of course, not because she doesn't have perfect principles or the perfect example in Christ, but because she is human . . . she has the courage to talk with her children about practices which would destroy them."
