Awake, My Soul! (2 Nephi 4)

In chapter 4 of 2 Nephi, Nephi speaks first of his own imperfect state, and then of the miracles that happened in his life. Then he asked himself, "Why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations ...?

"Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul." (vs. 27-28)

We all have miracles in our lives. Even if we have difficulties, we also have miracles and reason to say, "Why should I give way to temptations?" We have to awaken our souls. Look at the miracles in life, even if they are small. When we see the good things in life our hearts will rejoice and we will not let sin or discouragement defeat us.

Awake! See the good in life.

Awake! Leave sin behind.

Awake! Find something to better yourself.
