Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find rest to their souls. Yea cry unto God for all thy support; yea let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the afflictions of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever. Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 37:34-35
