1. "Follow the fundamental spiritual maintenance plan of personal prayer, regular scripture study, ... frequent repentance[, and] weekly renewal of covenants by ... partaking of the sacrament."

3. "I pray that we will teach and live these principles [divine helps for mortality: 1) 'That merciful and glorious Atonement [of Jesus Christ]'; 2) 'the Light or Spirit of Christ'; 3) 'commandments, ordinances, and covenants'; 4) 'the manifestations of the Holy Ghost'; [and] 5) 'the gift of the Holy Ghost.']"
