Stresses of Life

I think this is a first for Elder L. Tom Perry:
"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test — to return and live with our Heavenly Father."
--L. Tom Perry, "Let Him Do It with Simplicity", Ensign, Nov 2008, 7–10
 I think this is a first for Elder Mason also:
"Increased faith is as vital and necessary today as it was when Jesus walked the earth. Our modern world struggles with insufficient faith. President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a conference talk: “This is my prayer for all of us. … Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. … Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. … Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequences follow."
--James O. Mason, "Faith in Jesus Christ", April 2001 Ensign pg 22
