Final lessons from Nephi

This morning I was reading the last couple of chapters of 2 Nephi and narrowed on some great final lessons from Brother Nephi:

"...the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do" (32:3).

"...the Holy Ghost will show unto you all things what ye should do" (32:5).

"...ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray" (32:9).

This is the order the scriptures are listed in the Book of Mormon, but I want to shift them around:

  1. Say a prayer
  2. Read the scriptures
  3. Allow the Holy Ghost to show you the way
  4. When in doubt, refer to #1
  5. Perform and repeat daily, when necessary, multiple times

There does not need to be any confusion in our lives on "what [we] should do" if we heed these words from Nephi.
