Nephi 3:17 ...Yet
I (God)will
not loose his (Moses)
tongue, that he shall speak much, for I will not make him mighty
in speaking. But I will write unto
him my law, by the finger of mine own hand; and I will make
a spokesman for
him.

We
each have our own work to do and it’s good that we’re not
exactly the same as others. As long as we’re trying to put God
first in our thoughts, actions, and words, we are doing what is
right!
...God,
I want you to use me to do your will and to help others. Please
help me recognize your guidance.

Nephi 4:19-20 ...I
(Nephi)
know in whom I have trusted.
My
God hath been my support;
he hath led me through mine afflictions

Think
about times when you’ve felt God’s love and peace. Look back

strengthened.

Nephi 4:24 And
by day have I (Nephi)
waxed
bold in mighty prayer before
him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down
and ministered unto me.

When
we choose to visit WITH God about the big and little things, we
will receive strength from him!
...Visit
with God about big and small things in your day, year, and life.
Take time to be quiet and think, then continue to visit with Him.

Nephi 6:7 ...thou
shalt know that I
am the
Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that wait for
me.
|
Why
do we feel embarrassed or afraid to speak of Christ or do what we
feel He would want us to? Is it Satan’s way of causing trouble?

Nephi 6:17 ...For
thus saith the Lord: I will contend with them that contendeth with
thee -
|
Listen
to the song “Our God” by Chris Tomlin or think of the story of
David and Goliath.. God supported David in many trials throughout
his life!
...God,
thank you for being by my side as I face each and every struggle
in this life. With you, I can stand with courage and conquer the
dark.

Nephi 7:5-7 The
Lord God hath opened mine
ear,
and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my
back to the smiter,
and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. I hid not my face
from shame and
spitting. For the Lord God will help me, therefore shall I not be
confounded. Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know
that I shall not be ashamed.
|
How
can I become more firm in following God the first time without
being hesitant or rebellious?
...God,
it’s hard for me to change my ways and you know that. You can
see me trying to improve, making mistakes, and trying again. I
know I messed up when __. Thanks for allowing me time, energy, and
breath to keep trying to be your faithful follower.
