“There has grown in me an overwhelming testimony of the
value of daughters of God. . . . I have felt that there has never been a
greater need for increased faith and personal righteousness. There has never
been a greater need for strong families and homes.
“The ability to quality for, receive, and act on personal
revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this
life. Qualifying for the Lord’s Spirit begins with a desire for that Spirit and
implies a certain degree of worthiness. Keeping the commandments, repenting,
and renewing covenants made at baptism lead to the blessing of always having
the Lord’s Spirit with us. Making and keeping temple covenants also adds
spiritual strength and power to a woman’s life. Many answers to different
questions are found by reading the scriptures because the scriptures are an aid
to revelation. . . . Daily prayer is also essential to having the Lord’s Spirit
with us.”
Julie B. Beck, “And upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I
Pour Out My Spirit,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2010, 10, 11.
