Once upon a time I randomly decided to look at all my blog posts. And then I went, "What's this? A draft? oops." So, here go.
11 And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be a
patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good b
examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into
adivers btemptations;
4 But let patience have
her perfect work, that ye may be
aperfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1)
40 And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have
apatience, and that ye bear with all manner of
bafflictions; that ye do not
crevile against those who do cast you out because of your
dexceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them;
41 But that ye have
apatience, and bear with those
bafflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions. (Alma 34)
21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to
achasten his people; yea, he trieth their
bpatience and their faith.
22 Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his
atrust in him the same shall be
blifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people. (Mosiah 23)
19 For this
is athankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure
bgrief ...
20 For what glory
is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it
apatiently? but if, when ye do well, and
bsuffer for it, ye take it
cpatiently, this
is dacceptable with God. (1 Peter 2)
1
Verily I say unto you my friends,
afear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice evermore, and in everything give
bthanks;
2
aWaiting patiently on the Lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament—the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted.
3 Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been
aafflicted shall work together for your
bgood, and to my name’s glory, saith the Lord. (D&C 98)
27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to
aturn back, behold, the Lord
bcomforted us, and said: ... bear with
cpatience thine
dafflictions, and I will give unto you success. (Alma 26)
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And
ahope maketh not ashamed; because the
blove of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5)
1
... and let us run with
cpatience the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12)

54 And your
aminds in times past have been
bdarkened because of
cunbelief, and because you have treated
dlightly the things you have received—(D&C 84)
15 But if he repent
not of his sins, which are
aunbelief and blindness of
bheart, let him take heed lest he
cfall. (D&C 58)
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have
afaith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall
not adoubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye
apray,
bbelieve that ye receive
them, and ye shall have
them. (Mark 11)
21 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ,
doubting nothing,
awhatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this
bpromise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.
• • •
25 And whosoever shall believe in my name,
doubting nothing, unto him will I
aconfirm all my words, even unto the ends of the earth.
• • •
27 O then despise
not, and wonder
not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need.
aDoubt not, but be believing, and begin as in times of old, and
bcome unto the Lord with all your
cheart, and
dwork out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him. (Mormon 9)
6 But let him
aask in
bfaith, nothing
cwavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A
adouble minded man
is unstable in all his ways.
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have
afaith, and
bdoubt not, ye shall
not only do this
which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
cmountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all
athings, whatsoever ye shall
bask in
cprayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Matthew 21)
3 Now behold ye know that this is true; ... wherefore can ye
bdoubt? Let us go up; the Lord is able to
cdeliver us... (1 Nephi 4)
37
aBehold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the
bnails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall
cinherit the
dkingdom of heaven. Amen. (D&C 36)
24 Search
adiligently,
bpray always, and
be believing, and
call things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the
dcovenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another. (D&C 24)
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit
atare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have
acompassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are apossible to him that
bbelieveth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine
aunbelief. (Mark 9)
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was aafraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little afaith, wherefore didst thou bdoubt? (Mathew 14) (Anyone else find it interesting that the wind ceased once they reached the ship? I may have to ponder this some more. Mostly this is a note to remind myself of that fact.)
19 And because of the
aknowledge of this man he could
not be kept from beholding within the
bveil; and he saw the finger of Jesus, which, when he saw, he fell with fear; for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord; and he had
cfaith no longer, for he knew, nothing
ddoubting.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
(Psalms 77)
4 Shew me thy
aways, O
Lord; teach me thy paths.
5
aLead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou
art the God of my salvation; on thee do I
bwait all the day.
6 Remember, O
Lord, thy
tender amercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they
have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the
asins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy
bmercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O
Lord.
15 Mine
aeyes are ever toward the
Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the
bnet.
16 Turn thee unto me, and have
amercy upon me; for I
am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my
apain; and forgive all my sins.
(Psalms 25)
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy
tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law
is my delight.
(Psalms 119)
11 Withhold not thou thy
tender amercies from me, O
Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
afaileth me.
13 Be pleased, O
Lord, to deliver me: O
Lord, make haste to help me.
(Psalms 40)
1
Have amercy upon me, O God, according to thy
blovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy
tender mercies cblot out my
dtransgressions.
(Psalms 51)
16 Hear me, O
Lord; for thy lovingkindness
is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy
tender amercies.
(Psalms 69)
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy
tender mercies speedily
aprevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
(Psalms 79)
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O
Lord; and thy
asaints shall bless thee.
14 The
Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all
those that be bowed down.
(Psalms 145)
8 The
aLord is bmerciful and gracious, slow to
canger, and plenteous in
mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep
his aanger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,
so great is his
mercy toward them that fear him.
17 But the
amercy of the
Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The
Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
(Psalms 103)
11 Behold, we count them
ahappy which
bendure. Ye have heard of the patience of
cJob, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very
dpitiful, and of
tender emercy.
(James 5)

How long wilt thou
aforget me, O

how long wilt thou
bhide thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Lord; for I
am aweak: O

4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5 For in death
there is no remembrance of thee: in the
agrave who shall give thee thanks?

atears. (Psalms 6)

18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

aprevent us: for we are brought very low.

23 Stir up thyself, and
aawake to my judgment,
even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. (Psalms 79)

which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? (Psalms 89)

even cry out unto thee
of bviolence, and thou wilt not save! (Habakkuk 1)
52 Blessed
be the
Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89)
Not meant to exactly be a rip-off from
Chilly's, but it sort of turned out that way. Sorry, dood. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
