"I testify that the atonement of Jesus Christ covers all of the trials and hardships that any of us will encounter in this life."
"Regardless of our trials, with the abundance we have today, we would be ungrateful if we did not appreciate our blessings."
"Despite the obvious nature of the hardships the pioneers were experiencing, President Brigham Young talked about the significance of gratitude. He stated, "'I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude."'
"Our foremost gratitude should be for the Savior and his atonement. We are aware that many who are listening to this conference are experiencing trials and hardships of such intensity that the underlying feeling in their heart as they approach our Father in Heaven in prayer is 'Hope ya know, I'm having a hard time."'
"At times, when we may feel to say, 'Hope you know, I had a hard time,' we can be assured that he is there, and we are safe in his loving arms. When our beloved prophet President Thomas S. Monson was asked on his birthday this past August what would be the ideal gift that members worldwide could give him, he said without a moment's hesitation, 'Find someone who is having a hard time ... and do something for them."'
