Mormon 8:15


For none can have power to bring it to light save it be given him of God; for God wills that it shall be done with an eye single to his glory, or the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.

It has been said, a wicked man could not write the Book of Mormon, and a good man would not try. Only a prophet would publish such a book, claim it came from God, and then make the fantastic promise that if the reader prays, God will tell him it is true. The promise is so bold and blatant, it must be where everyone should start who wants to test the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No other criticism of the church could possibly carry greater weight than the authenticity or falsity of the Book of Mormon.

3 Nephi 20:29


And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people; and I have covenanted with them that I would gather them together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem, which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father.

God's promises are sure and will be fulfilled as soon as we are ready to receive them. We have the Savior's word on it.

Alma 7:8


Behold, I do not say that he will come among us at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle; for behold, the Spirit hath not said unto me that this should be the case. Now as to this thing I do not know; but this much I do know, that the Lord God hath power to do all things which are according to his word.

God has the power to do everything he needs to do. One of the very definitions of God is a being of supreme power.  No one and no thing are more powerful than God. If anything in the universe is more powerful than God, he would cease to be God. We can put ultimate and unconditional trust in God because we can know that he can keep every promise and deliver every blessing.

Mosiah 2:22


And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.

Because God always keeps his promises, and because he has promised to bless us when we keep his commandments, we can be assured that whatever comes our way when we are being obedient is a blessing. We may not recognize it or appreciate it, but the blessing is always there. God gives bread and not stones.
