Sustaining with Patience


"By our sustaining vote, we make solemn promises. We promise to pray for the Lord’s servants and that He will lead and strengthen them (see D&C 93:51). We pledge that we will look for and expect to feel inspiration from God in their counsel and whenever they act in their calling (see D&C 1:38)."
(First Presidency Message June 2012 by President Henry B. Eyring)

". . . my interest in patience is not solely personal; for the necessity of having this intriguing attribute is cited several times in the scriptures, including once by King Benjamin who, when clustering the attributes of sainthood, named patience as a charter member of that cluster (Mosiah 3:19; see also Alma 7:23). " (Patience, by Neal A. Maxwell)

How can I become a better example for my children by increasing my capacity to sustain those around me, especially my husband,with patience?
