Faith to Move Your Mountains (Helaman 7-17 Come Follow Me)

I always wanted enough faith to move a mountain.   Why?   I don't know.   I didn't need a mountain to move... I just thought it would be so cool to be able to do it!   But, there are symbolic mountains in life that I really DID want to move.   I wanted sickness to go away.   I wanted people not to die.   I wanted relationships to heal.   I wanted weaknesses to disappear. I wanted people to be kind.   Those mountains were in the way of good things I really wanted.   And yet...   I couldn't move them.   My prayers were not granted, and I didn't understand why.   I figured I just didn't have near the faith I needed. So, how did Nephi have enough faith that Heavenly Father promised to do WHATEVER HE ASKED? How did he have enough faith that Heavenly Father told him mountains would move if he just said the word? How did he have enough faith to start a drought and then make it rain? And how can I have enough faith to move the mountains I need moved? It turns out Nephi probably had a whole lot of "unanswered" prayers. Times heaven said "no" when he really wanted a "yes." Times heaven said "go" when he wanted to "stay." Times heaven said "speak up" when he was terrified to say the words. But Nephi did it anyway. He trusted the Lord. And then he trusted him again. And every time he did, he came closer to TRUST being a two-way street between him and heaven. The more he trusted heaven, the easier it was to know which mountains needed moved and which he needed to climb. My friend, the Lord knows how to move your mountain. He also knows how to teach you to move it... and how to help you climb it. The key is learning trust. In this episode, I talk about the 3 steps to get there.
