Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.
Nephi was a prophet in the Book of Mormon. When he was younger, Nephi and his brothers were commanded to get a sacred book. This book was important because it taught about God’s plan and the role of Jesus Christ. The book was owned by a wicked man named Laban. Nephi and his brothers tried asking for it. Laban said no. Nephi and his brothers tried to buy it. Laban said no and stole all their money. After failing twice, Nephi’s brothers were mad and wanted to quit.
Nephi encouraged his brothers by saying, “Let us go up again unto Jerusalem, and let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord; for behold he is mightier than all the earth” (1 Nephi 4:1).
Nephi’s trust in God helped him try a third time. This time, with God’s help, he was successful in getting the sacred book. Nephi’s experience teaches us that trying and sometimes failing are part of doing something difficult. Learning a new language is difficult and takes hundreds of hours. Maybe you have tried to learn English before, and it didn’t go well. Maybe you missed your weekly meeting or forgot to study. Try again when you fail. As you exercise faith in Jesus Christ, He can turn failure into success.

Ponder
How can we be like Nephi and keep trying when we fail?
How can our faith in Jesus Christ help us learn from our failures?
