Jesus Christ; twice
What does the book say about the purpose of the FSOY?
The purpose of For the Strength of Youth is not to give you a “yes” or “no” about every possible choice you might face. Instead, the Lord is inviting you to live in a higher and holier way—a life focused on eternal truths and the Lord’s promised blessings. This is His way. This guide will teach you about His way. It explains truths He has revealed. Make these truths your guide for making choices—big choices, like making covenants in the temple and serving a mission, as well as daily choices, like how to treat people or how to spend your time.
How can you find strength when life is hard?
Hard times can help you grow and progress as you turn to the Savior. There is nothing you’re going through that Jesus Christ doesn’t understand because of His atoning sacrifice. He knows exactly how to help you. Focus your life on Him, and He will lift you above all doubts and fears.
