Molten Gold

He will place in your path packets of spiritual sunlight to brighten your way. They often come after the trial has been the greatest, as evidence of the compassion and love of an all-knowing Father. They point the way to greater happiness, more understanding, and strengthen your determination to accept and be obedient to ... I testify that when the Lord closes one important door in your life He shows His continuing love and compassion by opening many other compensating doors through your exercise of faith.  He will place in your path packets of spiritual sunlight to brighten your way.
Elder Richard Scott

I believe these path packets are even waypoints along the way.  Sister Vilate C. Raile penned these words, regarding the pioneers, which I believe is expressing these packets, its power even for us,  

They cut desire into short lengths,
And fed it to the hungry fires of tribulation.

Long after when the fires had died,
Molten gold gleamed in the ashes.

They gathered it in bruised palms
And handed it to their children, And
their children's children forever.
