President Henry B. Eyring: 'The Power of Sustaining Faith'

Second counselor in the First Presidency

Notable quotes:

"You make a promise with God, whose servants these are, that you will sustain (the servants of God)."

"We could rise higher in our power to sustain each other."

"In the priesthood quorum and in the family, increased faith to sustain each other is the way we build the Zion the Lord wants us to create."

Summary points:

Talk summary:

One's faith to sustain servants of God are often at the heart of happiness in life.

"You choose whether to sustain all whom the Lord calls — in whatever the Lord has called them. That choice happens in conferences all over the world. It has happened in this one. In such meetings, names of men and women — servants of God — are read and you are invited to raise your hand to sustain. You can withhold your sustaining vote, or you can pledge your sustaining faith.

"By raising your hand to sustain, you make a promise. You make a promise with God, whose servants these are, that you will sustain them."

Keeping those promises requires faith and will bring eternal happiness.

Members across the world are generally loyal to each other and to those who preside over them.

"There are, however, improvements we could and must make. We could rise higher in our power to sustain each other. It will take faith and effort."

Pray for leaders as they share their inspired messages. Listen for messages from their talks that will come as to personal prayers for help. "When the answers come, and I promise you they will, we will grow in our faith to sustain all the Lord's servants."

The home and family are proven powers of faith.

"In the priesthood quorum and in the family, increased faith to sustain each other is the way we build the Zion the Lord wants us to create. With His help we can, and we will. It will take learning to love the Lord with all our heart, might, mind, and strength and to love each other as we love ourselves."
