It is serving God and others persistently with full heart and soul that turns testimony of truth into unbreakable spiritual strength.
You will notice that the work is simple obedience. It is not complicated things, it is not fancy things or getting great spiritual manifestations. This work is within the abilities of the most humble and the least educated.
We need continuing communication from god. One stream of light is not enough.
The first, the middle and the last thing to do is to pray.
We know the Lord makes His servants bold. The young boy Joseph who saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a grove of trees was transformed into a spiritual giant.
Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.
However much faith to obey God we now have, we will need to strengthen it continually and keep it refreshed constantly. We can do that by deciding now to be more quick to obey and more determined to endure. Learning to start early and to be steady are the keys to spiritual preparation. Procrastination and inconsistency are its mortal enemies.
Although his time is not always our time, we can be sure that the lord keeps his promises.
Don't worry about how inexperienced you are or think you are, but think about what, with the Lord's help, you can become.
If we have faith in Jesus Christ the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing.
Acting on even a twig of faith allows God to grow it.
Every person is different and has a different contribution to make. No one is destined to fail.
With aging comes physical and emotional challenge. We cannot seem to get as much done in an hour as we did in youth. And it is harder to be patient with others, and they seem more demanding.
Repentance, prayer, and pondering over the scriptures are essential parts of our qualifying for the gifts of the Spirit in our priesthood service. Further magnification of our power to serve will come as we respond with faith to go forward in our callings with the Holy Ghost to help us.
