2 Nephi 3:35 - 2 Nephi 3:45
35 My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
36 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
37 He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
38 Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night time.
39 And by day have I waxed bold in mighty prayer before him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto me.
40 And upon the wings of his Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceeding high mountains.
41 And mine eyes have beheld great things; yea, even too great for man; therefore I was bidden that I should not write them.
42 O then, if I have seen so great things; if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men, hath visited me in so much mercy, why should my heart weep, and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?
43 And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh?
44 Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart, to destroy my peace and afflict my soul?
45 Why am I angry because of mine enemy?
36 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
37 He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
38 Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night time.
