Christ commands us to obey the commandments, pray unto the father, and repent and be baptized. 3 Nephi 18:20 says, "And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you."
- I have never fully understood this scripture because it's saying if I pray for it I will receive it if it is right in God's eyes. I pray for a lot of things and often times I don't get it. How do we better a line our will with God's?
- I think often we believe in Christ but we don't believe Christ. I know sometimes when I don't get what I want it's hard to believe Him and be patient with His timing.
Bible Dictionary; prayer- "The object of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant, but that are made conditional on our asking for them. Blessings require some work or effort on our part before we can obtain them. Prayer is a form of work, and is an appointed means for obtaining the highest of all blessings."
Neal A. Maxwell said,
"Faith permits us to 'hold up [our] light that it may shine unto the world,' while remembering that Jesus said, 'I am the light which ye shall hold up' (3 Nephi 18:24). As we both testify of Him and strive to replicate His way of life in our own, we are reverently and respectfully holding Him up to proper human view." (Lord, Increase Our Faith, p. 20)
-Christ commands us to go unto Him and follow His example. How can I better live like Christ and follow His example? What are the things in my life I like to do but shouldn't or that are hard to break the habit of?
