BOOK OF MORMON CORNER - Today's Reading -2 Nephi 4:28-5:9
Question - What do you learn from the
way Nephi pleads with the Lord? Why do you think some blessings are
conditional on fasting & praying and others are not?
My thoughts - Nephi praises God, he asks for
redemption, deliverance, and a hatred towards sin. He asks a lot of
things but he also testifies to us in verse 35 that God is generous and
wants to bless us with things that will help us. What I am learning at
the moment is that there are some things he cannot bless us with because
it would encroach upon our agency, so He eagerly waits until we ask.
There is a brilliant talk called "when my prayers feel unanswered" by S.
Michael Wilcox. I love it! He talks about sometimes our prayer can't be
answered until a certain time when we can give place to receive it. I
know this is true. I had to wait a very long time for an answer to a prayer I
had, it came when I could give place for it in my heart, and in the most unimaginable way. I love this
phrase from the song "in seasons of distress and grief, my soul has
often found relief...I'll cast on him my ev'ry care". How blessed I feel
to know I have a loving Father in Heaven who wants me to pour out my
soul to Him. God is good!
Tomorrow's Reading (Day 43) - 2 Nephi 5:10-25
Question -What have you learnt from the reading today? What were Nephi's priorities?
In the English Kitchen today . . . Frosty Cottage Pie. Perfect for these colder days and a bit of fun for the family.
Have a wonderful Friday! Stay safe and stay warm and don't forget!
