And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.Interestingly, the word faith does not show up in this scripture, and yet it shows up under the topical guide for faith. And upon inspection, it explains a powerful principle of faith, which is that we must believe that God will not ask us to do anything impossible. It may seem impossible, and yet He will not set us up to fail, he will prepare a way for us. Therefore we can rest assured that any commandment or promise from Him will always be fulfilled as long as we are faithful and do our part.
Often we can't see how things will work out, but we can always rest our faith on Him, and trust His word to our souls.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5,6)
