In Ether 6:26 it says: "And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper again in the land."
It's just that easy. Repent and come unto Christ. Live in the manner of happiness and you can prosper in the land. So what does it mean to prosper in Book of Mormon vernacular? 2 Nephi 1:20 says "And he hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence."
Do we want to be in the presence of the Lord? Frankly, I say 'yes!'. It is His presence that gives me the strength each day to accomplish the things that bring true joy into my life. Prospering is having the Lord with us. I cannot afford to poke around on my own. I need His guidance each and every day. For this knowledge I will be forever grateful.
