LDS Quotes About Gratitude
"Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love."President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference
"A grateful heart… comes through expressing gratitude to our
Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they
bring into our lives."
President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference
"It
is my prayer that in addition to all else for which we are grateful, we may
ever reflect our gratitude for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His glorious
gospel provides answers to life’s greatest questions: Where did we come from?
Why are we here? Where do our spirits go when we die? That gospel brings to
those who live in darkness the light of divine truth."
President Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, October 2010 General Conference
"King Benjamin’s teaching had a miraculous effect. Gratitude for what they had led to faith unto repentance. That led to forgiveness. That produced new gratitude. And then King Benjamin taught that, if we can remember and so remain grateful, we will retain a remission of our sins through all the losses and the gains of life."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference
"Gratitude for the remission of sins is the seed of charity, the pure love of Christ."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference
"You could have an experience with the gift of the Holy Ghost today. You could begin a private prayer with thanks. You could start to count your blessings, and then pause for a moment. If you exercise faith, and with the gift of the Holy Ghost, you will find that memories of other blessings will flood into your mind. If you begin to express gratitude for each of them, your prayer may take a little longer than usual. Remembrance will come. And so will gratitude."
President Henry B. Eyring, Remembrance And Gratitude, October 1989 General Conference
"The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests."
Elder David A. Bednar, Pray Always, October 2008 General Conference
"Let me recommend that periodically you and I offer a prayer in which we only give thanks and express gratitude. Ask for nothing; simply let our souls rejoice and strive to communicate appreciation with all the energy of our hearts."
Elder David A. Bednar, Pray Always, October 2008 General Conference
"In some quiet way, the expression and feelings of gratitude have a wonderful cleansing or healing nature. Gratitude brings warmth to the giver and the receiver alike."
Elder Robert D. Hale, Gratitude for the Goodness of God, April 1992 General Conference
"Gratitude expressed to our Heavenly Father in prayer for what we have brings a calming peace—a peace which allows us to not canker our souls for what we don’t have. Gratitude brings a peace that helps us overcome the pain of adversity and failure. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future. A recognition of and appreciation for our gifts and talents which have been given also allows us to acknowledge the need for help and assistance from the gifts and talents possessed by others."
Elder Robert D. Hale, Gratitude for the Goodness of God, April 1992 General Conference
