In the Old Testament is says that if you're wise, a reproof will enter into your heart more than a thousand stripes will impact a fool. Prov. 17: 10 "A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool."
In the Book of Mormon I read a about how Alma taught his people to love others as they loved themselves and not have any contention among them. This is something we all need to do in our own lives--loving others and avoiding contention. Mosiah 23: 15 "Thus did Alma teach his people, that every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that when the Israelites were having times of trouble they turned to the Lord, and He was found by them. We likewise can turn to the Lord in our difficult times, and He will be there for us. 2 Chr. 15: 4 "But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them."
And it shall come to pass in the last days,when the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains....The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
