Elder Marion D. Hanks emphasized Nephi’s great character in how he approached this crisis: “What to do? … Nephi went to his father and said, ‘Dad, the Lord has blessed you. You are his servant. I need to know where to go to get food. Dad, you ask him, will you?’ Oh, he could have gone to his own knees. He could have taken over. I count this one of the really significant lessons of life in the book … a son who had strength enough … [to] say, ‘You ask God, will you?’ because somehow he knew this is how you make men strong” (“Steps to Learning,” 7).
