The Ministry of Angels

"Even the Son of God, a God Himself, had need for heavenly comfort during His sojourn in mortality.  And so such ministrations will be to the righteous until the end of time. . .be filled with faith, and remember that the Lord has said He 'would fight [our] battles, [our] children's battles, and [the battles of our] children's children.'  And what do we do to merit such a defense? We are to 'search diligently, pray always, and be believing'. . .The latter days are not a time to fear and tremble.  They are a time to be believing and remember our covenants.

"May we all believe more readily in, and have more gratitude for, the Lord's promise as contained in one of President Monson's favorite scriptures: 'I will go before your face.  I will be on your right hand and on your left. . .my Spirit shall be in your [heart], and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.' "

~Elder Jeffery R. Holland, Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ
