(Book of Mormon) Ether 6:3-10 Parallels of their Journey and our Lives = We are the men women and children who need to pass the great dark waters. Our Father has given us light so we may not cross in darkness

-We have the Scriptures and living Prophets

-They were prepared with food. To us, we must be prepared by feasting on the words of God.

-They commended themselves into the hands of God.

There was a furious wind that was necessary to get them to the Promised Land, but caused trials for them as well. They were shoved deep into the sea and the waves crashed against them.

-There are trials in our lives that are hard but necessary to bring us back to our Heavenly Father.

-They prayed or "cried unto the Lord" when it seemed as if the trials were too hard to bear.

They did sing and praise God, not forgetting to thank him for his guidance. No monster of the sea could destroy them and they had continual light.

-How often do we thank our Lord even when we are in continual trials and strife? If we do as He says and make sure to thank Him, no harmful thing will be able to lay hold on us. And then we must thank Him again. :)
