I a...I think coopers got a really good point there. I also think that its important to realize that what the lord did was loosen the bands until they were at the point that nephi could burst them himself. I would imagine (and this bit is from a talk by president bednar, so i´m not the only one who imagines this.) that nephi had to work his wrists raw on those bonds. The Lord usually answers our prayers differently than we ask, but he also expects us to trust his plan that he proposes and work our butts off to accomplish it. if we do that we wont fail. <br />In Prince Caspian, Lucy, finding herself, her family, and her kingdom in a dire situation, talks with aslan. Overcome with joy, she rushes to him and asks, Why cant you come rushing in and save us like last time? <br /><br />Things never happen the same way twice, little one<br /><br />A different plan was created. It wasnt the same plan Lucy wanted, but it was one that still resulted in a happy ending. The plan was one that required work and required trust. The Lord always asks this of us. <br />armyofhelamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07432155724879122899noreply@blogger.com
