“When our wagons get stuck in the mud, God is much more likely to assist the man who gets out to push than the man who merely raises his voice in prayer.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf “I don’t know how to get anything done except by getting on my knees and praying and then then getting on my feet and working.” Gordon B. Hinckley “You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness, and then the light will appear and show the way before you.” Boyd K.
