2 Nephi 25:26

I will speak of the glory of thy kingdom all the day long—thy infinite goodness, thy wondrous works, thy righteousness, and thy power—that we may be glad with the great reason of rejoicing, that the exceedingly great joy of Christ may be more abundant, that we may look forward to the day when his glory shall be revealed.
Thou hast appointed prophets to preach of thee with exceedingly great care, according to the Spirit, through which we ourselves have great views of that which is to come.
May I labor diligently to teach plainly, as I sit in my house and as I walk by the way, morning and night; and write to persuade brethren and children alike to believe in Christ, that his mercy and long-suffering, and the hope of his glory and of eternal life may rest in our minds forever; that we may be reconciled to God.

“Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Italics added) [Matt. 11:28–30]

Come to me and learn how to be meek and lowly in heart like I am, because that is the only way to enter into challenges, persecutions, afflictions, and feel rested at the same time; You will continue to go through these things, but I will teach you how to endure them with humility, and so they will become easy and light. That is the way I endured all things.
