"O then despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not, but be believing, and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart, and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.
"Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God." (Mormon 9:27-28)
I love Moroni's counsel to us in this chapter. When I read this chapter recently, it is almost like a checklist of things that I should be doing. Remember to ask our Father in faith for the things I need. Do ALL things that are asked of me. Be willing to submit to the Father's will instead of being prideful. Pray with faith for help to avoid temptation. I can testify that as we seek to involve our Father in Heaven in our lives each day and turn our hearts to Him and His will, He will help us overcome the challenges we face so that we can return to Him again.
