In the Old Testament I read that the judgments of God would be poured out upon the people for their wickedness. Jer. 5: 7-9, 28-29 "How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
In the Book of Mormon we're told that we need to forgive others if we expect the Lord to forgive us. 3 Ne. 13: 14-15 "For, if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you; But if ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
A verse in a thought booklet tells us not to be weary in well doing. If we continue on, in due time we'll receive our reward. Gal. 6: 9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
