Enduring to the End

        Everybody has trials in their lives. We are meant to have them. They are necessary tests in this life. If we are able to overcome them, we will be blessed and closer to being able to inherit the kingdom of God. No matter what pains or afflictions we may face, Christ will always be there for us. Our Earth life is only a small portion of our whole existence; yet so important. The choices we make here on earth will determine where we go after this life. Endure to the end and you will be able to inherit the Kingdom of God. 

“The certainties of the gospel, the truth, once you understand it, will see you through these difficult times.” 
                - President Packer

“Even when you feel the truth of [the] capacity and kindness of the Lord to deliver you in your trials, it may still test your courage and strength to endure. The Prophet Joseph Smith cried out in agony in a dungeon:

“ ‘O God, where are thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?’(D&C 121:1–2). . . .

“The Lord’s reply has helped me and can encourage us all in times of darkness. Here it is: ‘My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes’ (D&C 121:7–8).”
                - President Henry B. Eyring

"Enduring to the end is a process filling every minute of our life, every hour, every day, from sunrise to sunrise. It is accomplished through personal discipline following the commandments of God." 
                -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Jesus Christ lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us. In moments of pain, loneliness, or confusion, we do not need to see Jesus Christ to know that He is aware of our circumstances and that His mission is to bless.” 
                - President Eyring

"'Jesus Christ is the light and the life of the world.' As we fix our gaze on His teachings, we will be guided to the harbor of spiritual safety." 
                - President Packer

"Enduring to the end, or remaining faithful to the laws and ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout our life, is a fundamental requirement for salvation in the kingdom of God...Therefore, enduring to the end is not just a matter of passively tolerating life's difficult circumstances or "hanging in there." Ours is an active religion, helping God's children along the strait and narrow path to develop their full potential during this life and return to Him one day...Enduring to the end is a process filling every minute of our life, every hour, every day, from sunrise to sunrise. It is accomplished through personal discipline following the commandments of God." 
                - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“We must remember that the adversary knows us extremely well. He knows where, when, and how to tempt us. If we are obedient to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we can learn to recognize the adversary’s enticements. Before we yield to temptation, we must learn to say with unflinching resolve, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan’ (Matthew 16:23).”
                - Elder Robert D. Hales

"The past is behind--we must learn from it. The future is ahead--we must prepare for it. The present is now—we must live in it."
                - President Thomas S. Monson

"We are all subject to sorrow and suffering, to disease and death. Through times good and bad, the Lord expects each of us to endure to the end. As we all go forward together in His sacred work, the Brethren realize the importance of your thoughtful consideration, so lovingly offered and gratefully received. We love you and pray for you, as you pray for us."
                - Elder Russell M. Nelson

"When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
                - Elder David A. Bednar
