Asking in Faith, Acting with Trust

1 Nephi 15:11 - "Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you."Joseph Smith - “Could we all come together with one heart and one mind in perfect faith the veil might as well be rent today as next week, or any other time”Elder David A. Bednar - “Faith is the principle of action and of power in all intelligent beings. Now, because Joseph went committed to act, he asked in faith. When did Peter know he could walk on the water? Sitting in the boat or when the Savior beckoned him, and he went to the Savior, and he walked on the water? I don't think Peter knew he could walk on the water just sitting in the boat. You have to act then the power follows…Faith is focused on Christ and so you act in accordance with the teachings of the Savior and of his gospel and as you do, as you act, the power comes and you can count on it, but not necessarily in the way you anticipate. Nephi goes to get the brass plates in Jerusalem not knowing beforehand the thing that he should do. ‘I will go, I will do, for I know’ and as he goes things begin to happen…If this has pushed you out of your comfort zone, I am deliriously happy because we live at a time where passive belief is not enough. As an agent blessed with moral agency through the atonement of Christ in the world in which we do now and will yet live, you do not need to be afraid, but you need to be an agent who acts, and you can't just expect the programs of the church to deliver to you as an object everything that you need. You've got to be anxiously engaged and a part of that is asking, seeking, and knocking… I'm trying to push without frustrating you so that you get out of your comfort zone.”Seek this Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast invites you to discover the joy and guidance that comes from studying the Book of Mormon everyday.
