"We must be 'fixed in our purpose' as we seek to increase in faith and personal righteousness, strengthen our families and homes, and serve the Lord and his children. Though Satan may oppose our efforts, I testify of Jesus Christ and the power of his atoning sacrifice, enabling us to do his will and magnifying our efforts in the process."
"Scriptures, Family Home Evening, and family prayer will strengthen families. We need to take every opportunity to strengthen families and support one another to stay on the right path."
The Savior taught we should help one another.
"There are opportunities everywhere to help those in need. I submit to you that at sometime in our lives we will be poor in some way and will need the help of another person. For 'are we not all beggars?' "
"President Spencer W. Kimball said, 'God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other.' "
No matter our family situation — each of us can work to strengthen our own families or help in strengthening others.
