Nephi 5:14 …Jacob,

are you still doing that you know you shouldn't do? How can
choosing to stop doing this thing bless you and others? ...Father,

when
I tried to
be more willing and obedient, I

for examples of obedient followers of Jesus.

Nephi 7:12 …the
Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the
children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him…
Share
an example from the scriptures when God has done great things
because of someone's faith.
...Father,

tried to have more faith today. Some

Nephi 8: 12 And
as I (Lehi)
partook
of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy;
wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of
it also…
Think
of a time when you experienced something amazing and just had to
share the good news with someone. How would your life
be different without the gospel?
...Father,
today
when
I remembered
the joy of the gospel
__.

Nephi 8: 21 And I saw numberless concourses of people, many
of whom were pressing forward, that they might obtain the path…
Who
have you met in life that you would be sad if they weren't able to
experience eternal joy with you after this earth life?
Visit
with God about the people you want to be with you in heaven
and pray for His strength to help you and them get there!

Nephi 8: 33 And great was the multitude (those who were
mocking us)…; but we heeded them not.
Think
of a time when you didn't pay attention to someone because you
wanted to do something so much that you were able to stay
focused.
...God,
I
chose to ignore Satan's temptations today. Visit with God and
thank Him for the ability to stay on His path to
get
back home.

Nephi 10:17 …he
(Lehi) spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he
received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the
Messiah who should come—I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might
see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy
Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek
him,…
The
words we speak should be words that followers of Christ would say.
How can remembering this help us choose our words more carefully?
...Visit
with God about your
day and the words you
used. Thank Him for the
ability to control your tongue.

Nephi 11:1 For
it came to pass after I (Nephi)
had
desired to know the things that my father had seen, and believing
that the Lord was able to make them known unto me, as I sat
pondering in
mine heart I was caught
away in
the Spirit of the Lord…
This
is how we can receive revelation…1- want to know, 2- believe we
can get an answer, and 3- ponder (think).
...Visit
with God about something you want to know. Study His words and
take time to ponder.

Nephi 11:22-23 ...
the love of
God, which
sheddeth itself abroad
in the hearts of the children of men; ... is the most desirable
above all things. And he (the
angel)
spake unto me, saying: Yea, and the most joyous to
the soul.
What
is one of the most special things you own? God’s love is more
special than that! We should want his love more than all the
things we own, or could own. ...God,
today I tried to put you above all the earthly things around me by
__.
