1 Nephi 5:1–8
Place your trust in the Lord, even in times of doubt and
uncertainty. Strengthen your heart to believe that this is the chosen path, and turn to God in prayer for guidance and support during your journey through the wilderness.
2 Nephi 26:29–31
The Lord bestows Charity, which is love. Charity, or love, can be offered to all and received by all. Beware of those who demand praise and power, for that is not love.
2 Nephi 31:19–20
Place your faith in Christ and the Lord, God. They hold the answers that lead us to an eternal life in their presence.

Have faith, hope, and trust in God. Believing in Him is the initial step of faith. Open your heart to Him, and He

who lack belief or trust in Him. He employs analogies, like that of a seed that flourishes when nurtured with care.
Ether 12
This chapter imparts the lesson that God's grace is ample for us, even when we are confronted with weaknesses and trials. We should have confidence in God and not hesitate to seek His assistance, understanding that through faith and obedience, we can obtain the strength and grace needed to surmount
our challenges.
Moroni 7
In this chapter, we gain insight into the significance of cultivating charity, which is the pure love of Christ. Charity stands as the paramount virtue and is indispensable to our commitment as disciples. Our pursuit should be to nurture this quality by engaging in
acts of service, practicing patience and forgiveness, and recognizing the goodness in all individuals.
Moroni 10:20–24
In these verses, Moroni provides motivation for us to pray and seek God's guidance and confirmation of truth. When we approach God with humility and sincerity, He will unveil the truth to us and support us in leading a life of righteousness and discipleship.

) and ponder on the ability to exercise faith.
Through a significant decision-making experience, we learned that sometimes we must proceed without complete certainty. When seeking counsel from Elder Harold B. Lee, he emphasized the importance of faith and cited a verse from the Book of Mormon: "Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." He advised us to take a few steps into the unknown, and the path would become clearer. This lesson taught us to trust the process, even when the end isn't visible from the beginning, and it was life-changing.

President Gordon B. Hinckley shared a heartwarming story from his childhood, emphasizing the importance of kindness. In the story, two boys come across an old coat and a worn pair of shoes by the roadside. Rather than playing a prank on the owner, they decide to put a silver dollar in each shoe as a surprise. When the owner finds the money and expresses gratitude in a heartfelt prayer, the boys are deeply moved. The story reminds us of the joy and warmth that acts of kindness
can bring, and the lesson is clear: small acts of generosity can make a significant difference in someone's life and fill our hearts with goodness.
