A night in the wilderness
Lehi's camp

Begin
Long ago, a family left their home in Jerusalem and went into the wilderness.
From the Book of Mormon, First Nephi chapter two.
And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father,
even in a dream, that he should take his family and depart into the wilderness.
And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the Lord,
wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him.
And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness.
And he left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver,
and his precious things, and took nothing with him, save it were his family,
and provisions, and tents, and departed into the wilderness.
Verse six.
And it came to pass that when he had traveled three days in the wilderness,
he pitched his tent in a valley by the side of a river of water.
And it came to pass that he built an altar of stones,
and made an offering unto the Lord, and gave thanks unto the Lord our God.
Picture the tents by the river, the fire, the stars over the desert.
First Nephi, chapter two, verse fifteen.
And my father dwelt in a tent.
And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceeding young,
nevertheless being large in stature,
and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore,
I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart
that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father;
wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers.
Nephi wondered, and he prayed.
And the Lord softened his heart.
Ask Heavenly Father to help you trust Him, even when you do not know where the road goes.
Amen.
