There is an important principle that governs the doctrine of the Church. The doctrine is taught by all 15 members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. It is not hidden in an obscure paragraph of one talk. True principles are taught frequently and by many. Our doctrine is not difficult to find.  Neal L. Anderson October 2012 General Conference https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2012/10/trial-of-your-faith?lang=eng&id=p30#p30

I promise you that as you willingly acknowledge and carefully treasure the spiritually defining events in your life, more and more will come to you. Elder Neal L. Andersen

How do you remain “steadfast and immovable” ( Alma 1:25 ) during a trial of faith? You immerse yourself in the very things that helped build your core of faith: you exercise faith in Christ, you pray, you ponder the scriptures, you repent, you keep the commandments, and you serve others. When faced with a trial of faith—whatever you do, you don’t step away from the Church! Distancing yourself from the kingdom of God during a trial of faith is like leaving the safety of a secure storm cellar just as the tornado comes into view. Elder Neal L. Andersen http://www.lds.org/prophets-and-apostles/unto-all-the-world/trial-of-your-faith?lang=eng
