"But behold, Moronihah did apreach many things unto the people because of their iniquity, and also bNephi and Lehi, who were the sons of Helaman, did preach many things unto the people, yea, and did prophesy many things unto them concerning their iniquities, and what should come unto them if they did not repent of their sins.
And it came to pass that they did repent, and inasmuch as they did repent they did begin to prosper."
Helaman 4:14-15
This is a good reminder that some of the roadblocks we encounter in life can be overcome through repentance. ... I'm definitely not saying that all bad things come into our lives as divine punishment. I don't think that God works that way. We do however dig holes for ourselves through sin that need the Lord's help to crawl out of, and just being in tune with the Spirit can help us through anything else, whether natural or circumstantial or criminal, so being in tune with that Spirit can bolster and strengthen us through the normal ups and downs, and the fiery trials of life.
Today, let's remember the value of repentance as we seek to grow and prosper and to connect to God and his blessings. Sin can get in the way of so much that is good because it is basically putting walls up between ourselves and God. Let's work to tear down those walls and to get that connection back, which will help us to be in harmony with God and his plan again, and to prosper as we work together with all other things for good.
