(in these verses, Nephi has prayed and requested to see the things his father saw; the angel of the Lord asks him if he believes that his father saw the tree of which he spoke)
vs. 5:"..yea, thou knowest that I believe..."
vs. 6:"...because thou believest in the son of the most high God; wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou desirest."
What this says to me is
1) we don't have to wonder if the Lord knows of our belief...we can know that he knows our hearts and
2) IF we believe, we shall receive. It's as simple as that. (Well maybe not quite that simple, but it starts just the simple....)
That is a great comfort to me as I progress through this life with the many challenges and struggles that seem to be part of my everyday life.
