Raise our voices to him forever...

"I believe Nephi's experience provides a model, a pattern we can apply when we are discouraged or feel affliction or grief.  

If the enemy has us encompassed and we want to rejoice but cannot, we can

...

1. express delight in the things of the Lord and continually ponder our blessings,

2. recount how he has helped us in the past,

3. ask ourselves if we really want to linger in sorrow or despair,

4. direct and command our will and thoughts toward the Lord,

5. ask the Lord to clear the way before us, protect us, and deliver us from our enemies,

6. commit to him that we will trust him and raise our voices to him forever."
