The Quote

“Quotes say succinctly what I am thinking.” 

“No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is not His character. He is an unchangeable being; the same yesterday, the same today, and He will be the same throughout the eternal ages to come. We have found that God. We have made Him our friend, by obeying His gospel; and He will standby us….

We may pass through the fiery furnace; we may pass through the deep waters; but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from all these trials and difficulties the better and purer for them, if we only trust in our God and keep His commandments.”
– George Q. Cannon

I kept this quote in my pants’ pocket for years. It was a great inspiration to me. It finally wore away (as pictured).  I was able to get through some very rough times by reading it over and over. I knew that God was watching over me and that He would direct my path to find wellness. I still have this paper in a dresser drawer of mine.
