Still Pondering this from Chapter 14 of Teachings of Presidents of the Church, Lorenzo Snow:
"God will add His strength to our efforts"
"Where the Lord plants us, there we are to stand; when he requires us to exert ourselves for the support of these holy principles, that we are to do; that is all we need to trouble ourselves about; the rest our Heavenly Father will take care of."
President Snow "knew in whom he trusted and therefore was able to endure every hardship, every opposition and overcome every obstacle."
After becoming President of the Church President Snow said that "There was no use in his making excuses as to inability etc., to assume the vast responsibilities involved in the position .... He felt that it was for him to do the very best he could and depend upon the Lord"
And a little something from the conversation during the lesson:
Though I don't remember the exact quote or story the thing I felt impressive was that individuals and families should have their FHE, attend seminary, have prayer and scripture study, etc. to help strengthen individuals and families so that each can be a good example to those around them.
And, do not remove yourself from places (like a public school for instance), but strive to be the example the world needs. Of course this does not mean that you remain in an undesirable and improper place or surrounding.
