Elder David A. Bednar
“Constant vigilance is required to counteract complacency and casualness. To be vigilant is the state or action of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties. And keeping watch denotes the act of staying awake to guard and protect. Spiritually speaking, we need to stay awake and be alert to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and the signals that come from the Lord’s watchmen on the towers.” (David A. Bednar, “Watchful Continually unto Prayer,” General Conference, Oct 2019).
President Russell M. Nelson
“We all need to repent. We need to get up off the couch, put down the remote, and wake up from our spiritual slumber. It is time to put on the full armor of God so we can engage in the most important work on earth. It is time to ‘thrust in [our] sickles, and reap with all [our] might, mind, and strength.’ The forces of evil have never raged more forcefully than they do today. As servants of the Lord, we cannot be asleep while this battle rages.” (Russell M. Nelson, We Can Do Better and Be Better,” General Conference, April 2019).

“Those words apply to us today. Who among us hasn’t felt the chains of bad habits? These habits may have impeded our progress, may have made us forget who we are, may have destroyed our self-image, may have put our family life in jeopardy, and may have hindered our ability to serve our fellowmen and our God. So many of us tend to say, “This is the way I am. I can’t change. I can’t throw off the chains of habit. …
“Righteous living is a shield, a protector, an insulation, a strength, a power, a joy, a Christlike trait. Yes, living a life of righteousness is a chainbreaker.” (Marvin J. Ashton, “Shake off the Chains with which Ye Are Bound,” General Conference, Oct 1986).
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
“I testify that the cleansing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the transformative power of the Holy Ghost can heal and rescue mankind. It is our privilege, our sacred duty, and our joy to heed the Savior’s call to follow Him with a willing mind and full purpose of heart. Let us ‘shake off the chains with which [we] are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.’” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Are you Sleeping Through the Restoration,” General Conference, Apr 2014).
Sister Elaine S. Dalton
“The call to ‘arise and shine forth’ is a call to each of you to lead the world in a mighty cause—to raise the standard—and lead this generation in virtue, purity, and temple worthiness. If you desire to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world. …
“And since the Holy Ghost does not dwell in unclean temples, each of us will need to take inventory of our habits and our hearts. All of us will need to change something—to repent.” (Elaine S. Dalton, “Now is the Time to Arise and Shine!” General Conference, Apr 2012).
