"When filled with the Spirit and with gospel truth, we have
the power to withstand outside forces of the world that surround and push
against us. If we’re not filled spiritually, we don't have the inner strength
to resist and can collapse when forces push against us. One of the best places
for an individual to receive the strength from the gospel is within the family.
Families are the Lord's workshop on earth to help us learn and live the gospel.
Satan does everything he can to distort and separate us from the truth of the
gospel. Strong eternal families and Spirit-filled homes don’t just happen. They
take work and each member of the family contributing to their collective
strength. Even an individual can strengthen the family by seeking truth. We are
continually counseled to increase our spiritual knowledge through prayer and
through studying and pondering the scriptures and the words of living prophets.”
