Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #36: “Remember the Lord,” Helaman 7-12

September 2-8

As Helaman chapter 7 opens, we see a prophet pleading with God for his people in great agony and heaviness of Spirit. The Gadianton robbers had usurped legitimate authority and taken over much of the government, the people have become corrupted and Nephi is deeply grieved for the wickedness which abounds. In a video for General Conference a little girl asked President Russell M. Nelson, “Is it hard to be a prophet? Are you, like, really busy?” He said, “Of course it’s hard.”  It wasn’t because he was so busy that Nephi was finding it hard to be a prophetjust then. We’ll talk about why in this episode.
