I love these thoughts:
President Spencer W. Kimball:
It is not the function of religion to answer all questions about God's moral government of the universe, but to give courage (through faith) to go on in the face of questions he never finds the answer to in his present status.
If the time comes when you feel you can no longer hold to your faith, then hold to it anyway. You cannot go into tomorrow's uncertainty and dangers without faith.
President Spencer W. Kimball:
“If all the sick for whom we pray were healed, if all the righteous were protected and the wicked destroyed, the whole program of the Father would be annulled and the basic principle of the gospel, free agency, would be ended. No man would have to live by faith.
“If joy and peace and rewards were instantaneously given the doer of good, there could be no evil—all would do good, but not because of the rightness of doing good. There would be no test of strength, no development of character, no growth of powers, no free agency, only satanic controls."
