2 Nephi 20:13 For he saith: By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom I have done these things; for I am prudent; … |
God has a purpose for all things... including you! ...Father, help me know the purpose you have for me. Help me to fulfill that role in a manner pleasing to thee. Thank you for this life and opportunities to learn, improve, and become like thee! |

2 Nephi 21:2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him (Jesus), the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; |
In all we do, strive to let The Spirit help us find wisdom and understanding. Let His counsel us and make us mighty through God’s power. Let us know and have reverence for God. ...Father, I want to know you more. Help me set aside worldly things and focus on Your ways. |

2 Nephi 22:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation. |

When have you felt the desire to thank God and sing out loud because of His goodness? ...Father, a song is the prayer of the heart. Hear my heart now and know I am thankful for__. |

2 Nephi 25:13 Behold, they will crucify him; and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name. |

2 Nephi 25:29 And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out. |
I remember a song.. “There’s a right way to live and be happy. It is choosing the right every day. It is learning the teachings of Jesus. They will help me and show me the way. Choose the right way and be happy. I will always choose the right” ...Father, Please help me to recognize the right way and if I’m on the wrong path, help me to quickly return to thy way. Thanks for the Joy your gospel brings to me! |
