Women of Faith, Virtue, Vision, & Charity

Faith in the Lord is trust in the Lord. 

We cannot have true faith in the Lord 

without also having complete trust 

in the Lord’s will 

and in the Lord’s timing. 

As a result, 

no matter how strong our faith is, 

it cannot produce a result contrary 

to the will of Him in whom we have faith. 

Remember that when your prayers 

do not seem to be answered 

in the way 

or at the time 

you desire. 

The exercise of faith 

in the Lord Jesus Christ 

is always subject to the order of heaven, 

to the goodness 

and will 

and wisdom 

and timing of the Lord. 

When we have that kind 

of faith 

and trust 

in the Lord, 

we have true security and serenity in our lives.

—Dallin H. Oaks, The Atonement and Faith, Ensign, Apr 2010, 30–34
