Afflictions.

 

... and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain.

2 Nephi  2:2.

O, consecrate my troubles

That they bring me peace at last.

Thy spirit, Lord, poured out

On me is gain most unsurpassed.

Riches, honor, earthly mansions,

I can do without . . . 

But if those, too, are sent my way

You’ll find I will not pout!
