There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

74-75 2 Ne 9:15-33

"He knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it." Understanding that our Father in Heaven knows everything is a key component of faith. If we really believe that he knows all things, we know we can ask him anything and he will be able to help us find the answer. We need not think that we are learned and wise and that we don't need his counsel. We need every tid bit of light and knowledge that we can get. He will light the way for our uncertain future, because he knows the way, he knows the future, he knows all. We must "hearken unto the counsels of God."
