KRISTINE ANGELA TUALLA
Imagine that during a worldwide devotional for youth, the prophet
extended several invitations for youth to act in faith.
 What are some of the different reactions youth might have?
 Some youth might respond with enthusiasm, feeling
inspired to act in faith and embrace the invitations
wholeheartedly. They may see it as an opportunity for
personal growth and spiritual development,
potentially leading to a deeper sense of purpose and
fulfillment in their lives.
 Why do you think these different responses would occur?
 Others might feel hesitant or uncertain, grappling
with
doubts or fears about stepping outside their comfort
zones.
Their response could be influenced by factors such as
past experiences, self-confidence, or a need for
additional support and guidance.
 How might these reactions influence their lives now or in the
future?
 In the long term, the decisions made in response to
these invitations could shape the trajectory of their
lives, influencing their character, relationships, and
overall well-being. The willingness to act in faith
may lead to meaningful experiences and a deeper
connection to their beliefs, while hesitation might
result in
missed chances for personal and spiritual development
Read 1 Nephi 10:17–19 and 15:1–3, 8–9, comparing how Nephi, Laman,
and Lemuel responded to their father’s words. You may want to mark
words and phrases that stand out to you.
 What differences did you see between how Nephi and his
brothers responded to the same message?
 Nephi responded to his father's words with faith and a
desire to seek understanding. In 1 Nephi 10:17–18 and
15:8–9, Nephi expresses belief in God's revelations and
acknowledges the importance of diligently seeking
Him. On the other hand, Laman and Lemuel exhibited
skepticism and murmuring, as seen in their responses
to the same message.
 What did Nephi believe about God? What did Laman and
Lemuel believe? (See 1 Nephi 10:17–18; 15:9.)
 Nephi believed in God's power to reveal truth through
the Holy Ghost, emphasizing the need for diligent
seeking (1 Nephi 10:17–18; 15:9). In contrast, Laman
and Lemuel struggled with doubt and a lack of faith,
as indicated by their murmuring and unwillingness to
accept their father's teachings.
 How do you think their different beliefs and reactions will
influence them?
 These different beliefs and reactions are likely to
influence their future choices and outcomes. Nephi's
faith and willingness to seek God may lead him to
further spiritual insights and blessings. In contrast,
Laman and Lemuel's skepticism and murmuring
could hinder their ability to receive divine guidance
and blessings, impacting their spiritual progression
and overall well-being
