This week, my boyfriend showed me his very favorite passage of scripture: 2 Nephi 4:16-35. The entirety of the section is great, but I was most inspired by verse 35.
"Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask, not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen."
I love this passage because it is so joyful and filled with the Spirit and testimony. Nephi is glorifying God, and he gives a great truth as he does so. The Lord will gladly pour out blessings upon us if we just ask in righteousness. They may not be exactly what we think we need, but they will be what we need nevertheless. If we cry unto the Lord as Nephi does, we too can feel His love and desire for us to be happy. We can better be open to His blessings, and He will be our rock, our safe place; the thing that keeps us going, especially when everything feels like it's going wrong.
