1 Nephi 17
Nephi is the man. He is so proactive! The Lord prompts him to go into the mountains (vs. 7), so he does. Now my thinking is 'ok thats kind of random.' But of course if the Lord tells you something despite its randomness you probably ought to do it. So I would go into the mountain and once I had gotten there I would probably sit there and twiddle my thumbs all the while continuing to think, 'why in the world am I here?' But Nephi...like I said, he is the man, so he goes into the mountain-no questions asked- and cries unto the Lord and asks the Lord what it is he needs to do. The difference here is simply wondering and waiting to be led/guided by the hand and being productive by ASKING and doing!
Sometimes I forget to ask. I know God is there but more often than not I try to rely on my own wisdom and smarts then when those fail me I am brought to my knees and remember 'oh yeah, maybe I could as Him for some help'. But other times I just wander aimlessly wondering 'what on earth am I supposed to be doing right now?'
So my advice: be like Nephi. Don't wait to be acted upon but act for yourself "^drelying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to ^esave" (2 Nephi 31:19).

How do you think you would feel if you had Jesus Christ physically in your midst, praying for you, teaching you, and blessing you? It would be indescribable!  I love in 3 Nephi 17:17 how the people hear Christ praying for them "unto the Father".  In chapter 18 Christ teaches us that we must be an example for those around us ALWAYS just as he was. "Therefore, hold up your ^alight that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the ^blight which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed" (3 Nephi 18:24). The Savior loves us sooo much and he showed us and has continued to show us over and over again. I love what he says in verse 31; "But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my people, that he may not destroy my people, for behold I ^aknow ^bmy sheep, and they are numbered" (3 Nephi 18:31). I love the Book of Mormon!

Jesus Christ: the chief corner stone of our religion.

Today I was reading in 2 Nephi 25 in the Book of Mormon. The prophet Nephi teaches plainly and prophesies of our Savior's coming and crucifixion. One of my favorite verses is verse 26, "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, [and] we prophesy of Christ..." Everything we do and teach in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is centered on and around our Savior Jesus Christ and his Gospel (Ephesians 2:20). We must continually strive to center our own lives upon his teachings and by doing so strengthening our faith and relationship with him.
I know that Jesus Christ knows each of us personally and had felt every single thing I have ever felt and experienced. He suffered for you, me, and everyone who ever has or ever will live on this earth. I love him and I am continually grateful for his love, comfort, and help. I say these things in his name, even Jesus Christ, Amen.
