The greatest blessing that will come when we prove ourselves
faithful to our covenants during our trials will be a change in our natures. By
our choosing to keep our covenants, the power of Jesus Christ and the blessings
of His Atonement can work in us. Our hearts can be softened to love, to
forgive, and to invite others to come unto the Savior. Our confidence in the
Lord increases. Our fears decrease. In the mortal experience, we will have
ample opportunity to prove ourselves, to pass tests hard enough to become ever
more like the Savior and our Heavenly Father. In addition, we must notice the
tribulation of others and try to help. That will be especially hard when we are
being sorely tested ourselves. But we will discover as we lift another’s
burden, even a little, that our backs are strengthened and we sense a light in
the darkness.” – President Henry B. Eyring
