This was posted by MissHalfWay on the original thread. Thought I'd get it moved over here as well.

I was reading Chapter 4:1

" And it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren 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, then why not mightier than Laban and his fifty, yea, or even than his tens of thousands? "

And then Nephi proceeds to challenge them to be strong like Moses when he parted the red sea.

I feel strengthened by this. I mean life is sometimes difficult and I am prone to fear. And sometimes I have believed that I was alone. But, here is someone doing really difficult things and risking personal safety to do the will of the Lord in returning to Jerusalem! I can believe the same thing and place my trust in the Lord as I battle my own versions of Laban and the fifty.
