Questions to Ponder:
- Nephi and his family were blessed as they traveled to the promised land because Nephi continued to have an "I will" attitude—he did not hesitate to obey the Lord's commandments. (1 Nephi 3:7)
- Consider the following attitudes:
- I don't want to
- I'll think about it
- I'll try
- I will
- How might these different attitudes bring out different outcomes in our individual lives?
- How might these different attitudes bring affect the Lord's ability to bless us?
- How might these different attitudes bless the lives of those you care about?
- What are some guides in our lives that, like the Liahona, work according to our faith and diligence? (Alma 37:38–46).
- What gifts has the Lord give us that acts like the Liahona?
- How can we obtain guidance from the Lord in our daily lives?

- As the people traveled through the wilderness and across the sea, what circumstances led many of them to murmur? (1 Nephi 16:18–20, 34–36; 17:6; 17:21.)
- What was Nephi's attitude during these difficult times? (1 Nephi 18:16.)
