Having Light Continually

A few months ago, I was sitting in the Celestial Room, and for whatever reason I was feeling the need to be filled with more light. So I prayed and asked God how I could be filled with more light. Immediately the following thoughts came to my mind:
The Jaredite barges were filled with light "continually," even when swallowed up by the sea (Ether 6:10). How? They were airtight (Ether 6:7). God showed the Jaredites how to build them.
I need to be airtight against my temptations and my afflictions and trials in order to be filled with light. If I build my foundation on the Savior, the winds and the storms of life will have no effect on me (Hel. 5:12). I must not let the winds penetrate and beat upon my heart. I must also have a firm mind (Jacob 3:2). If I commend myself to the Lord, the storms that I encounter will only push me forwards towards the Promised Land (Ether 6:4-5). The Lord has command over the winds and the waves (Hymn #105).
