“These words of Anselm are thus such good counsel: ‘Believe
in order to understand,’ rather than “understand in order to believe.” Brothers
and sisters, though living in a time of commotion, we can stand in holy places
and not be moved. Though living in a time of violence, we can have that inner
peace that passeth understanding. Perplexing things will still happen, but,
like Nephi, we can still know that God loves us, a felicitous and fundamental
fact which can and will sustain us through so much! How can we know that God is
aware of us and loves us? He tells us by the scriptures—likewise, by our
honestly counting the blessings and bestowals of His grace in our lives. Most
of all, He tells us by the still, small voice of the Spirit!” – Neal A. Maxwell
