“Behold I Am the Light I Have Set an Example for You”
Compare verse 24. Jesus Christ is our exemplar in all things, and as such is also our example in prayer. “For the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do” (3 Nephi 27:21). Following the Savior’s example of prayer requires that we should seek to pray by the power of the Spirit in the same manner as he prayed (see 3 Nephi 17:15-17). Having steadfast faith in Christ and living lives of Christ-like actions allows us to think as he thinks, act as he acts, speak as he speaks, and thus pray as he prayed.
