Alma 13

". . . Cast off your sins, and not procrastinate the day of your repentance;

"But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;

"Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest." (Alma 13:27-29)

Don't procrastinate your repentance. If there are things that need fixing in your life, begin changing them now. Be humble before the Lord. Pray and watch continually that you will not be caught unawares and so you can overcome the obstacles and be led by the Spirit. Being led by the Spirit requires more humility, meekness, submissiveness, patience, full of love and long-suffering. You should have faith on the Lord. Have a hope of eternal life. Containing the knowledge of God's love in your hearts for yourself and others. This is what we should be. If we are, we will be lifted up and find rest in God.
