“The purpose of an
anchor is to keep a ship safe and secure at a desired location or to help
control the ship during bad weather. However, to accomplish these vital
purposes, just having an anchor is not enough. The anchor must be solid,
dependable, and used properly at the right time and place.
“Individuals and families need anchors as well.
“Adversity can come as a great storm to blow us off course
and threaten to cast us against the rocks. But sometimes we are also in danger
when everything appears to be safe—the winds soft and the waters smooth. In
fact, we can be in the greatest danger when we are drifting and movement is so
slight that we scarcely notice it.”
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “A Firmly Set Anchor,” Ensign,
April 2014, 4.
