It is easy to identify with Nephi who shares some of his feelings of inadequacy before the Lord. As I think about my life I can see areas where I struggle and fall short. Describing one as a wretched man can be easy to when you know your weaknesses and when being your own worst or harshest critic. One of the lessons from 2 Nephi 4 is that in his discouragement the Lord did not abandon him and Nephi was strengthened. I am grateful for a Heavenly Father and Savior that are aware of who I am, who know what I need and who provide so much for me. There is peace in knowing we are not alone. I am grateful for a kind and loving Heavenly Father that is infinitely patient with me and my shortcomings. I hope I can live in a manner pleasing unto Him.
