May Christ lift you up

The scene Mormon describes in Moroni 9 is so awful and heartbreaking, the wickedness of the Nephites. I love how despite the awfulness, Mormon believes and encourages his son to believe that it will be all right, that he can have peace and assurance, and that Christ will carry his burdens. 

22 But behold, my son, I recommend thee unto God, and I trust in Christ that thou wilt be saved; and I pray unto God that he will spare thy life, to witness the return of his people unto him, or their utter destruction; for I know that they must perish except they repent and return unto him.

More this one:

25 My son, be faithful in Christ; and may not the things which I have written grieve thee, to weigh thee down unto death; but may Christ lift thee up, and may his sufferings and death, and the showing his body unto our fathers, and his mercy and long-suffering, and the hope of his glory and of eternal life, rest in your mind forever.

It is amazing that we can find peace in dark, awful times, through Christ.
