D & C 104: 80 At hangga't ikaw ay masigasig at mapagpakumbaba, at gamitin ang panalangin ng pananampalataya, masdan, palambutin ko ang mga puso ng mga kanino ka may utang, hanggang sa magpadala ako ng mga paraan sa iyo para sa iyong kalayaan .

Doctrine and Covenants 112: 1 – 3 1 Katotohanang ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon sa iyo aking lingkod na si Thomas: Narinig ko ang iyong mga panalangin; at ang iyong limos ay umakyat bilang isang alaala sa harap ko, para sa mga iyon, iyong mga kapatid, na napili upang magpatotoo sa aking pangalan at ipadala ito sa ibang bansa sa lahat ng mga bansa, lahi, wika, at bayan, at naordenahan sa pamamagitan ng kagamitan ng aking mga lingkod. 2 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, may kaunting mga bagay sa iyong puso at kasama mo kung saan ako, ang Panginoon, ay hindi nasisiyahan nang mabuti. 3 Gayon pa man, kung magpakababa ka ng iyong sarili ikaw ay aangat; samakatuwid, lahat ng iyong mga kasalanan ay pinatawad sa iyo.

It comes as we go about our work with an attitude of serving God and our fellowman. “… The moment we stop obsessing with ourselves and lose ourselves in service, our pride diminishes and begins to die” - President Dieter Uchtdorf Doctrine and Covenants 112: 34 Be faithful until I come, for I come quickly; and my reward is with me to recompense every man according as his work shall be.
