"Faith fuels hope. Our perspective changes; our vision becomes clearer. We begin to look for the best, not the worst, in life and in others. We gain a deeper sense of life's purpose and meaning. Despair gives way to joy.  Faith such as this is a heavenly gift, but it can be sought and cultivated. As our Bible Dictionary suggests, often 'faith is kindled by hearing the testimony of those who have faith.' Faith is then nurtured as we allow ourselves to believe. Like all other virtues, faith is strengthened as we practice it, as we live and act as if our faith were already deep. Faith is the product of righteous desire, belief, and obedience." -David S. Baxter, "Faith, Service, Constancy," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 13-14

"Because faith is wanting, the fruits are. No man since the world was had faith without having something along with it. The ancients quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, women received their dead, etc. By faith the worlds were made. A man who has none of the gifts has no faith; and he deceives himself, if he supposes he has. Faith has been wanting, not only among the heathen, but in professed Christendom also, so that tongues, healings, prophecy, and prophets and apostles, and all the gifts and blessings have been wanting." -History of the Church, 5:218

"These are difficult times. The economy is struggling. There is conflict in the world. But the Almighty is keeping His promise that He will bless those who walk in faith and righteousness before Him." -Gordon B. Hinckley, "The Condition of the Church," Ensign, May 2003, 6.

"One of the gifts God has promised to all who earnestly seek Him is faith.  Elder Bruce R. McConkie explained: 'Faith is a gift of God bestowed as a reward for personal righteousness. It is always given when righteousness is present, and the greater the measure of obedience to God's laws the greater will be the endowment of faith.'( Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed. [1962], 264.)

"By faith, which teaches me that I am eternal, with an existence before this life and an ever active life hereafter, I am given full courage to battle against evil, whether in myself or in others...By this faith my joy is abundant, my sorrows are tempered, my trust in the ultimate triumph of good over evil is unshakable." Elder John A. Widtoe

"Faith and all spiritual gifts are available to everyone who is willing to live for them. Many times we think just being a member of the Church will entitle us to all the Lord has promised. But each blessing requires obedience. The Lord declared, 'When we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated' (D&C 130:21). We gain strength by living the commandments." -Mary Ellen W. Smoot, "Come, Let Us Walk in the Light of the Lord," Ensign, Nov. 1998, 89.

"Truly understood and properly practiced, faith is one of the grand and glorious powers of eternity. It is a force powerful beyond our comprehension." -Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Shall He Find Faith on the Earth?" Ensign, Nov. 2002, 84.

"Tithing develops and tests our faith. By sacrificing to the Lord what we may think we need or want for ourselves, we learn to rely on Him.  Our faith in Him makes it possible to keep temple covenants and receive eternal temple blessings.  . . . The obedient payment of tithing fortifies our faith, and that faith sustains us through trials, tribulations, and sorrows in our life's journey." -Robert D. Hales, "Tithing: A Test of Faith with Eternal Blessings," Ensign, Nov. 2002, 27.

"The challenge which faces every member of this Church is to take the next step, to accept that responsibility to which he is called, even though he does not feel equal to it, and to do so in faith with the full expectation that the Lord will light the way before him." -Gordon B. Hinckley, "We Walk by Faith," Ensign, May 2002, 73.

"Faith is the very fiber that gives strength to this work. Wherever this Church is established across this broad world, it is evident. It is not limited to one country or one nation or one language or one people.  It is found everywhere. We are a people of faith. We walk by faith.  We move forward on our eternal journey, one step at a time."  -Gordon B. Hinckley, "We Walk by Faith," Ensign, May 2002, 74.

"Keep the faith; be true to your covenants. Walk in the light of the gospel. Build the kingdom of God in the earth."  -Gordon B. Hinckley, "The State of the Church," Ensign, Nov. 2003, 7.

"Sometimes those blessings in our lives that we have yet to receive lie beyond the scope of mortal eyes. . . It is always faith that allows us to see 'afar off' with spiritual vision all that God intends for His children." -Anne C. Pingree, "Seeing the Promises Afar Off," Ensign, Nov. 2003, 15.

"Gratefully, in His perfect love, [God] has provided a way for us to resolve those challenges while  growing in strength and capacity. I speak the sustaining power of faith in times of uncertainty and testing.  God has given us the capacity to exercise faith, that we may find peace, joy, and purpose in life. However, to employ its power, faith must be founded on something. There is no more solid foundation than faith in the love Heavenly Father has for you, faith in His plan of happiness, and faith in the capacity and willingness of Jesus Christ to fulfill all of His promises." -Richard G. Scott, "The Sustaining Power of Faith in Times of Uncertainty and Testing," Ensign, May 2003, 75.

"The challenge which faces every member of the Church is to take the next step, to accept that responsibility to which he is called, even though he does not feel equal to it, and to do so in faith with the full expectation that the Lord will light the way before him." -Gordon B. Hinckley, "We Walk by Faith," Ensign, May 2002, 73.

"Faith is the very fiber that gives strength to this work. Wherever this church is established across this broad world, it is evident. It is not limited to one country or one nation or one language or one people. It is found everywhere. We are a people of faith. We walk by faith. We move forward on our eternal journey, one step at a time."  -Gordon B. Hinckley, "We Walk by Faith," Ensign, May 2002, 74.

"The gospel as restored by Joseph Smith is either true or it is not. To receive all of the promised blessings we must accept the gospel in faith and in full. However, this certain faith does not usually come all at once.  We learn spiritually line upon line and precept upon precept." -James E. Faust, "Lord, I Believe; Help Thou Mine Unbelief," Ensign, Nov. 2003, 19)
