How do we change ourselves?
If we try to change something about our character without help, it can
be done, but it requires enormous effort.
If we get a friend or loved one to support us in the effort, it becomes
easier. But the easiest and most
effective way to change something about our character is to ask the Lord’s
help, as the Nephites did upon hearing King Benjamin’s speech. Their result?
“…the Spirit…has wrought a mighty change…in our hearts that we have no
more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually” (v. 2). It’s a matter of asking with faith, then
continuing to ask in faith to change our “disposition” towards any kind of
evil.
