1 Nephi 13

While reading this chapter this morning I realized that Nephi had prepared him self spiritually in order to ask to see the vision that his father saw. He was shown but the lord wasn't done. Nephi was then told the meaning of the vision and than was shown more visions of Christ, the 12 Apostles, and the future of his people. I realized that when we are prepared spiritually and ask for guidance the lord is then able to give us more or maybe something different than what we asked for. God knows what we need and if we are constantly preparing ourselves we will be ready for when the spirit tells us something we need to know.
