For example, 1 Nephi 20:1–2 tells us that the Israelites did not stay themselves upon the Lord. What does it mean to stay oneself? It means to hold in place, to steady, to really be faithful, to be enduring, to be supported. Where do we get real support? How can and do you stay yourself? You surround yourself with strong people, those with strong enduring ideas and with a full set of the strong foundational principles of life. Most of all, we stay ourselves upon the Lord. It is hard to stay yourself just on your own. It is by having these stays around you that will help you stay faithful. Strive to say, "I have done everything I can, and I will stay with the Lord, and he will then strengthen us and as we go forward, staying ourselves together upon the Lord."
