These warriors were all teenagers who went to war. Their parents, the Anti-Nephi-Lehites, could not fight because they had promised God that they would no longer fight. They burried their weapons. When the Lamanites tried to fight all the Nephites, the teenagers fought instead of their parents. All of them came home safely because God protected them because of their faith. They are the army of Helaman.

Stop blaming others or your circumstances, stop justifying, and stop making excuses for why you may not be fully striving to be obedient. Accept that you are ____________________________ The Lord knows your circumstances perfectly, but He also knows perfectly well whether you simply choose not to fully live the gospel.

Accept ______________as part of your mortal experience. Remember that you are here to be proved and tested, “to see if [you] will do all things whatsoever the Lord [your] God shall command [you]” and may I just add, “under all circumstances.” Millions of your brothers and sisters have been or are being thus tested, so why would you be exempt?

Living in this manner, you can truly “always retain a remission of your sins” (Mosiah 4:12) every hour of every day, every second of every minute, and thus be fully clean and acceptable before God all the time.
What is weakness
True _______ brings a change in one’s beliefs, heart, and life to accept and conform to the will of God and includes a conscious commitment to become a disciple of Christ.
What is conversion
Embrace voluntary, wholehearted obedience as part of your life. Acknowledge that you cannot love God without also loving His commandments. The Savior’s standard is clear and simple: ___________Selective obedience brings selective blessings, and choosing something bad over something worse is still choosing wrong.
