And we beseech you . . . to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake . . . . - 1 Thes. 5:12-13
"Many of you are serving as members of bishoprics, of high councils, and as officers in priesthood quorums," said President Thomas S. Monson of the First Presidency during the October 1991 general conference. "At times, your tasks may seem overwhelming, and discouragement may creep into your lives. Our Heavenly Father has inspired your call and desires that you succeed."Through humble prayer, diligent preparation, and faithful service we can succeed in our sacred callings. The Lord will hear your prayers and guide your decisions, for this is His work in which we are engaged."
