"One's life cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free. Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share thy joy!' Real faith is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process."
(Neal A. Maxwell, "Lest Ye Be wearied and Faint in Your Minds" Ensign, May 1991, 88,90.)
