“I Did Pray Oft”
Nephi was a man of prayer. He instructed those of our generation to “pray always,” and “not [to] perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ” (2 Nephi 32:9). It is also of interest that Nephi had a place of prayer, that being “the mount” where he would make his ritual ascent to the divine presence. As already noted, for Nephi the mount was like a temple, it being the place of prayer and revelation.
