“Could it really be true that the answer to every one of our problems, every obstacle, every difficulty, everything unfair, every false accusation, and each and every impossible situation in our lives is to look to the Savior, to remember Him and what he has done for us? Yes! The answer is to remember and celebrate the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”

—Wendy W. Nelson, as quoted in With Power and Authority: Teachings of Latter-day Saint Women 

“There is not a mold in which we all must fit. Each of us is different, and each of us has something important to contribute to God’s work.”

—Reyna I. Aburto, as quoted in With Power and Authority: Teachings of Latter-day Saint Women 

“We’ve all made covenants to ‘mourn with those that mourn’ and ‘comfort those that stand in need of comfort’  (Mosiah 18:9). But that doesn’t mean to run ourselves ragged. Doing better doesn’t always mean doing more. And if you do just one inspired thing each day, you are nevertheless the Lord’s agent.” 

—Sharon Eubank, as quoted in With Power and Authority: Teachings of Latter-day Saint Women 

“Have you ever considered your weakness to be a gift from God to promote humility and growth? How can this change your perspective of who you are and who God knows you to become? ... We are not expected to be perfect in our mortal state, nor are we expected to do everything perfectly. Remember, we are doing many things for the first time in our lives—and I don’t just mean our earthly lives!”  

—Rebecca L. Craven, as quoted in With Power and Authority: Teachings of Latter-day Saint Women 

“Trusting in the Lord and taking all our burdens to him in prayer does not mean that we become passive or helplessly dependent. It means that we become peaceful.” 

—Chieko N. Okazaki, as quoted in With Power and Authority: Teachings of Latter-day Saint Women
