• Enos 1:3-8… Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forests; and the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sunk deep into my heart.4 And my soul hungered, and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul, and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens.5 And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.7 And I said: Lord, how is it done?8 And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.
• “We forget that we create the situations, then we give our power away by blaming the other person for our frustration. No person, no place, and no thing has any power over us, for “we” are the only thinkers in our mind. We create our experiences, our reality, and everyone in it. When we create peace and harmony and balance in our mind, we will find it in our lives.”  You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 125
• “Later the Prophet said feelingly, but calmly and courageously, “I am going like a lamb to the slaughter, but I am as calm as a summer’s morning. I have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward all men. If they take my life I shall die an innocent man, and my blood shall cry from the ground for vengeance, and it shall be said of me, ‘He was murdered in cold blood’” History of the Church, 6:555. 21  Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, (2014), 102–13
• “Choose to converse with your Father in Heaven often. Make time every day to share your thoughts and feelings with Him. Tell Him everything that concerns you. He is interested in the most important as well as the most mundane facets of your life. Share with Him your full range of feelings and experiences. Because He respects your agency, Father in Heaven will never force you to pray to Him. But as you exercise that agency and include Him in every aspect of your daily life, your heart will begin to fill with peace, buoyant peace. That peace will focus an eternal light on your struggles. It will help you to manage those challenges from an eternal perspective.”  Richard G. Scott, October 2014 General Conference
• “When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, all that they needed for daily sustenance was abundantly given to them. They had no difficulties, challenges, or pain. Because they had never experienced hard times, they did not know they could be happy. They had never felt turmoil, so they could not feel peace.  The Fall made possible in our lives feelings of both happiness and sadness. We are able to understand peace because we feel turmoil.” Richard G. Scott, October 2014 General Conference

• “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie
• Words of Mormon 1:18…Wherefore, with the help of these, king Benjamin, by laboring with all the might of his body and the faculty of his whole soul, and also the prophets, did once more establish peace in the land.
• “I have a conviction…  that when we pass through the veil of death, all those impediments and challenges and crosses that were beyond our power to control-abuse, neglect, immoral environment, weighty traditions, private temptations and inclinations that yielded to faith, and so forth-will be torn away like a film, and perfect peace will prevail in our hearts.” Voices of Hope, Robert L. Millet
• “Our ancient and modern prophets and seers teach us how we can “abide the day of his coming” (D&C 61:39). I love that word—abide. It conveys so much more than “surviving” the day of His coming, or “enduring” the day of His coming. It conveys peace, calm, rest, and safety.” The Second Coming of the Lord  by Gerald N. Lund
• “Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, values, morals or self-worth.” Anonymous
