Guard against the adversary

Today's quotes:

"The way for each person and each family to guard against the slings and arrows of the Adversary and to prepare for the great day of the Lord is to hold fast to the iron rod, to exercise greater faith, to repent of our sins and shortcomings, and to be anxiously engaged in the work of His kingdom on earth, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

--Spencer W. Kimball, "The Lord Expects Righteousness", Ensign, Nov 1982, 4

And another one:

"There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless."

--James E. Faust, "The Refiner's Fire," Ensign, May 1979, 53
