“I want to touch upon another way that can instill us with confidence and faith. We sometimes, as women, have a tendency to be very critical of ourselves. During these times we need to seek the Spirit and ask, ‘Is this what the Lord wants me to think about myself, or is Satan trying to beat me down’ Remember the nature of our Heavenly Father, whose love is perfect and infinite. (note) He wants to build us up, not tear us down.”

-Linda S. Reeves, Second Counselor in the 16th General Relief Society Presidency
