Weaknesses

Alma 48:9 "in their weakest fortifications he did fortify and strengthen them"

2 Corinthians 12: 9-10 "And ye said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong"

Ether 12:27 - I give weaknesses so that they might be humble- make weak things strong

Alma 49:14 "a weak place had now become strong"

Helaman 4:24/26 "And they saw that they had become weak… because of their transgression"

Mormon 9:31 "Condemn me not because of mine imperfection… but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been"

Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weaknesses. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them"

Ether 15- Millions are slain in battle, until it is literally 32 versus 27 people. They just cannot let it go and are so consumed with anger and pride that they will not just cease to fight. Instead, they would rather everyone die. In life we do this sometimes. We keep going and going at something and let it consume us until we have no energy anymore and we have lost sight of all things that are important.

Moroni 7:33 "If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me"

"I come to you tonight with a plea that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we try to 'accentuate the positive'. I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort" -Gordon B. Hinckley

Moroni 10:32 "Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind, and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God"

"We must not let our passions destroy our dreams" -Camelot

Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon"

"See how far you've come, not how far you have to go" -Kent Brooks

"Satan delights to have us put ourselves down" - Neil A. Maxwell

Neil A. Maxwell's Notwithstanding My Weakness

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"

"Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you" -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
