All week long I have been quoting this verse from Proverbs 3:5-6. Today I decided to look it up.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
[And as if to say it again 7-11]
Be not wise in thine own eyes;
fear the lord,
and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel,
and marrow to thy bones.
Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the first fruits of all thy increase;
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
My son,
despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of his correction.
[Then I found another one that seems to help, Alma 7:23,24]
And now I would that ye shoudl be humble,
and be submissive and gentle;
easy to be entreated;
full of patience and long-suffering;
being temperate in all things;
being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times;
asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need,
both spiritual and temporal;
always returning thanks unto
God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
And see that ye have faith,
hope,
and charity,
and then ye will always abound in good works.
