Faith is a gift from God, but you must nurture your faith to keep it strong. You can nurture the gift of faith by:
- praying to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
- keeping the commandments.
- studying the scriptures and the words of latter-day prophets.
President Spencer W. Kimball, one of our latter-day prophets, counseled youth to drive down stakes to help them be “steadfast and immovable” when he taught: “Our young people should drive down stakes early. . . . The stakes are of two kinds: ‘This I will do’ and ‘This I will not do.’ . . . Very early, youth should have been living by a plan. . . . When such a course is charted and the goal is set, it is easier to resist the many temptations and to say ‘no’ to the first [temptations].
