Week 2




Day 8

Read: 1 Nephi 17-18

Mark: 1 Nephi 17:45

“Inspiration comes more as a feeling than as a sound…We do not have the words (even the scriptures do not have the words) which perfectly describe the Spirit. The scriptures generally use the word ‘voice,’ which does not exactly fit. These delicate, refined spiritual communications are not seen with our eyes, nor heard with our ears. And even though it is described as a voice,

it is a voice that one feels, more than one hears.”

~ President Boyd K. Packer

What things have you felt while reading or praying?





Day 9

Read: 1 Nephi 19-21

Mark: 1 Nephi 19:23

“May I commend you faithful Saints who are striving to flood the earth and your lives with the Book of Mormon. Not only must we move forward in a monumental manner more copies of

the Book of Mormon, but we must move boldly forward into our own lives and throughout the earth more of its marvelous messages. This sacred volume was written for us—for our day.

Its scriptures are to be likened unto ourselves.”

~ President Ezra Taft Benson

How do the things you read in the scriptures relate to your life?





Day 10

Read: 1 Nephi 22 – 2 Nephi 1

Mark: 1 Nephi 22:26

“If Satan could but capture our minds, he would have won the battle and the war. He can only do this if we let him. If we refuse to walk with him, he will have no power over us, for God gave

us our free agency and Satan cannot take it away. So what I am suggesting is that we refuse to even walk on the same street with Satan. In other words, not only should we avoid evil, we should avoid the very appearance of evil.”

~ Bishop Victor L. Brown

How can Satan be bound in his efforts to influence you?





Day 11

Read: 2 Nephi 2-3

Mark: 2 Nephi 2:25, 27-28

“Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all

the commandments of God.”

~ Joseph Smith

What brings you true happiness?

Day 12

Read: 2 Nephi 4-7

Mark: 2 Nephi 4:15-16

“No father, no son, no mother, no daughter should get so busy that he or she does not have time to study the scriptures and the words of modern prophets. None of us should get so busy that

we crowd out contemplation and praying.”

~President Spencer W. Kimball

What is it that brings a person to love the scriptures?





Day 13

Read: 2 Nephi 8-9

Mark: 2 Nephi 9:50-51

“Keeping everything in balance can be a real problem …Often the lack of clear direction and goals can waste away our time and energy and contribute to imbalance in our lives. …Our main goal should be to seek “immortality and eternal life.” With this as our goal, why not eliminate from our lives the things that clamor for and consume our thoughts, feelings, and energies without contributing to our reaching that goal?”

~ Elder M. Russell Ballard

How do you spend your time, money and energy?





Day 14

Read: 2 Nephi 10-13

Mark: 2 Nephi 12:2-3

“I can visualize an army of righteous youth prepared and worthy to attend the temple. I can see families sealed together for eternity. I can see youth who understand what it means to be

‘saviours’… on mount Zion.’ I can see youth whose hearts are turned to their fathers. And I can envision youth growing up in such a way that they will come forth from the temples filled with

strength to resist worldly pressures. I can see a generation of youth who will ‘stand … in holy places, and be not moved.’

~ Sister Elaine S. Dalton

Why do you think Isaiah compares the temple to a mountain?
