1 Nephi 18

Overall Feeling: God has a plan and everything always works out. And if it hasn't worked out, then it isn't over yet.

God has a plan and we have the pleasure and opportunity to walk that path. It has an end, but it is up to us to walk it. So if you get that feeling that things aren't working out or your not making progress, you might be able to guess the source of why.

The Liahona didn't work when they weren't following the commandments. So why would you be able to move forward without doing what you are suppose to.
