Nephi 15:11 Do
ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If ye will
not harden your hearts, and ask me
in faith,
believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my
commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you.

After
we ask God, we’ve got to be willing to search and work to help
ourselves find truth and be willing to change our habits if
needed.

Nephi 15:24 And
I (Nephi)said
unto them (his
brothers) that
it (the
rod of iron) was
the word of
God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and
would hold fast
unto it, they would never perish; neither could the
temptations and the
fiery darts of
the adversary overpower
them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction.

God,

Nephi 16:3 3 And

before God, then ye would not murmur because of the truth, and
say: Thou speakest hard things against us.

Nephi 16:28-29 ...they
(the
Liahona arrows)
did work according to the faith and
diligence and heed which we did give unto them. And there was also
written upon them a new writing, which was plain to be read, which
did give us
understanding concerning
the ways of the Lord; and it was written and changed from time to
time, according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it.
And thus we see that by small means
the Lord can bring about great things.

What

succeeding at!
...Father,
thank thee for guiding us all throughout this journey of life.
Please help me strengthen my faith as I try to be faithful to
thee.
