(111) 3 Nephi 19:24 “And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father, he came unto his disciples, and behold, they did still continue, without ceasing, to pray unto him; and they did not multiply many words, for it was given unto them what they should pray, and they were filled with desire.”  When we have the Holy Ghost, we can know the things for which we should pray, which are right.

(112) 3 Nephi 22:14 “In righteousness shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near thee.” When you are established in righteousness, you have no cause or reason to fear. Isn’t that a wonderful thing? I think this is something that I, especially, need to remember more often. If you feel fear, it is perhaps time to evaluate your standing with the Lord, and decide if you are “established in righteousness,” or if, perhaps, you may have wavered a little.

(113) 3 Nephi 27:24 “Write the works of this people, which shall be, even as hath been written, of that which hath been.” It is important for us to write down all the manifestations from the Father that we witness. It is also important that we keep a record of our own works.

(114) Mormon 4:2 “And it came to pass that the armies of the Nephites were driven back again to the land of Desolation. And while they were yet weary, a fresh army of the Lamanites did come upon them; and they had a sore battle, insomuch that the Lamanites did take possession of the city Desolation, and did slay many of the Nephites, and did take many prisoners.” Remember that the Nephites no longer had the Spirit with them. I believe that the Spirit will help to strengthen us and help to keep us from being defeated by our enemies.

(115) Ether 2:25 “And behold, I prepare you against these things; for ye cannot cross this great deep save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds which have gone forth, and the floods which shall come. Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea.” It’s nice to know that the Lord will prepare us to overcome every challenge that we face. That is a pretty empowering thought, actually. I think we should also notice that the word “if” is not present anywhere in this verse. There is no “IF there are waves” or “IF the floods come.” They will come, but the Lord will have already prepared a way for us to cross through them.

(116) Ether 3:26 “For he said unto him in times before, that if he would believe in him that he could show unto him all things –it should be shown unto him; therefore the Lord could not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the Lord could show him all things.” We should remember that this promise applies to us as well. If we believe in him, he can show us all things. We just need to have that believe and the faith to have our eyes (and hearts) opened.

(117) Ether 12:19 “And there were many whose faith was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came, who could not be kept from within the veil, but truly saw with their eyes the things which they had beheld with an eye of faith, and they were glad.” I think the last three words of this verse are my favorite: “they were glad.” Our faith helps us to feel glad.

(118) Moroni 7:3 “Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.” Note the word “sufficient.” We don’t need to have a perfect amount of hope; we just need to have enough.

(119) Moroni 10:31 “And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen they stakes and enlarge they borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.” Confounded means to be angry or annoyed. When we make and keep sacred covenants, our ability to remain happy increases and we are actually guarded against unhappiness.
