• Alma 21:14-15…After very hard trials, Aaron and his brethren still went forth again to declare the word.
  • Alma 19:28-29…When it seems all has failed and your efforts have been in vain, don’t given up! Keep trying and the Lord will pull through.
  • 2 Nephi 31:15-16…To be save – endure to the end following Christ’s example
  • Mosiah 23:21-22…Endure chastisements – blessed
  • 2 Nephi 31:20…Enduring to the end is necessary to gain eternal life
  • Mormon 9:29…Worthy baptism, partake of sacrament worthily, endure to end – not cast out
  • Mosiah 2:40…We should all wake up and remember the terrible situation of falling into transgression (endure to end)
  • 1 Nephi 1:1 “…and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days;” Nephi recognizes his blessings even though he suffered much
  • “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude, and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God…and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.” (Orson F. Whitney, Ensign, Nov. 1987, 60; Faith Precedes the Miracle, 98)
  • “Often those who struggle with adversity ask the question ‘why did this happen to me?’ They spend sleepless nights wondering why they feel so lonely, sick, discouraged, oppressed, or brokenhearted. The question ‘why me?’ can be a difficult one to answer and often leads to frustration and despair. There is a better question to ask ourselves. That question is ‘what could I learn from this experience?’ The way we answer that question may determine the quality of our lives not only on this earth but also in the eternities to come. Though our trials are diverse, there is one thing the Lord expects of us no matter our difficulties and sorrows: He expects us to press on.” (Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, Nov. 2004, 101)

  • “Our task is to become our best selves. One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.” (Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, May 1987, 68)

  • “Joseph and Emma Smith were a great support to each other during the many times of affliction they faced. In 1842, when Joseph was in hiding because his life was in danger, Emma was able to visit him. Joseph later said about this visit:“With what unspeakable delight, and what transports of joy swelled my bosom, when I took by the hand, on that night, my beloved Emma—she that was my wife, even the wife of my youth, and the choice of my heart. Many were the reverberations of my mind when I contemplated for a moment the many scenes we had been called to pass through, the fatigues and the toils, the sorrows and sufferings, and the joys and consolations, from time to time, which had strewed our paths. … Oh what a commingling of thought filled my mind for the moment, again she is here, … undaunted, firm, and unwavering—unchangeable, affectionate Emma!” (History of the Church, 5:107). Gospel Doctrine Teacher’s Manual, Lesson 10: “This Is My Voice unto All”
  • … And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.
  • …Once we are baptized, is that all we need to do? No, because we have made it to this point because of our faith in Christ. We should continue in Christ, with hope, love of God, love of all men, feast upon the word of Christ, endure to the end, then the Father says “Ye shall have eternal life”.

  • “We begin with Lehi alone “in a dark and dreary waste.” Each of us experiences periods of darkness and loneliness. “When life gets dark and dreary, don’t forget to pray.” Follow President Heber J. Grant’s example. Pray for strength to endure to the end. Ask Heavenly Father, “What more would You have me do?”  Kevin W. Pearson, April 2015 General Conference
  • “Accept trials, setbacks, and “surprises” as part of your mortal experience. Remember that you are here to be proved and tested, “to see if [you] will do all things whatsoever the Lord [your] God shall command [you]” ( Abraham 3:25 )—and may I just add, “under all circumstances.” Millions of your brothers and sisters have been or are being thus tested, so why would you be exempt? Some trials come through your own disobedience or negligence. Other trials come because of the negligence of others or simply because this is a fallen world. When these trials come, the adversary’s minions begin broadcasting that you did something wrong, that this is a punishment, a sign that Heavenly Father does not love you. Ignore that! Instead, try to force a smile, gaze heavenward, and say, “I understand, Lord. I know what this is. A time to prove myself, isn’t it?” Then partner with Him to endure well to the end. Spiritual confidence increases when you accept that “often trials and tribulations are allowed to come into [your life] because of what [you] are doing right” (Glenn L. Pace, “Crying with the Saints” [Brigham Young University devotional, Dec. 13, 1987], 2; speeches.byu.edu ).”  Jörg Klebingat, October 2014 General Conference
  • “Joseph Smith’s mother, Lucy Mack Smith, described some of the characteristics that made it possible for Emma to support Joseph through difficult times: “I have never seen a woman in my life, who would endure every species of fatigue and hardship, from month to month, and from year to year, with that unflinching courage, zeal, and patience, which she has ever done; for I know that which she had had to endure. … She has breasted the storms of persecution, and buffeted the rage of men and devils, which would have borne down almost any other woman” (History of Joseph Smith, ed. Preston Nibley [1958], 190–91). Gospel Doctrine Teacher’s Manual, Lesson 10: “This Is My Voice unto All”
