In the Old Testament I read that Jeroboam rose up in rebellion against the Lord and made golden calves for gods. He cast out the priests of the Lord and made other priests of them that are no gods. 2 Chr. 13: 6-9 " Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. Have ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods."
In the D&C we're commanded to continue in fasting and prayer. D&C 88: 76 "Also, I give unto you a commandment that ye shall continue in prayer and fasting from this time forth."
Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us to trust in God at all times and pour out our hearts before Him, for He is our refuge, our rock, our salvation, our defence, and our strength. Ps. 62: 5-8 "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."
