12 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.
Sometimes I wish I really understood the principle of faith. Nephi says that the Lord is limited in how He can bless us. He’s limited by our faith, or lack of faith. A key word in this verse is IF. The Lord can do anything for our benefit IF we exercise faith in Him. Moroni tells us in Ether 12 (a great chapter about faith) that our witness comes after the trial of our faith. It also says that God cannot perform miracles among those with no faith. This is described in Matthew 13:58, where Christ could not perform many miracles in his home country because of their unbelief.
