"19 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Blessed art thou, Nephi, because of thy afaith, for thou hast sought me diligently, with lowliness of heart.
20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shallaprosper, and shall be led to a bland of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands."
In this life of challenges and struggles we seem to have a never-ending supply of difficulties that try and tramp us down. Yet we, I find joy in the knowledge that we can seek the Lord and He shall make all things work out for us. The best way to have success in life, especially with our economy and the way the world is going is to trust in the Lord.
I know that my personal peace and steadiness in life comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even today, I got so mad I wanted to spit, punch a wall and just in general scream and yell. I know that I was losing my cool too because I hadn't read my scriptures yet for the day. The scriptures are the best way for me to keep my cool in life and gain all the blessing that are available to me. It is a value that is worth more than all the gold in the world.
