How many of the above have you experienced?
Mormon 8:1-3 discouragement 4-major depression. Giving up. Hit rock bottom. Out for the count. What matters is gone. 5-depression to the point of only do what I have to. Mormon 1:1 had no intentions of writing more. He grew up in the hunger games - warfare. 7-8, 11-12 the point of why he is writing 13- DONE 14- yet continues- he's back. He had his the record between vs 13 n 14. Revelation occurred. More optimistic. Just introduced a future. At first was going through own personal struggle. God calls the weak. When you're low that's when you want to come closer to God. You are able to climb out of your challenges, no matter how many there are if you turn to God. 14- 16- talking about Joseph smith. Put Joseph smith when he says 'he' 35-as a seer and revelator he has seen our day.36- talking to us. Apostasy in our day. 26, 28, 30-32, 38, 40 - what he saw for our day.Ch 9 of Mormon talks specifically to those who do not believe in Christ. We should study ether and Moroni with great intent. Make the Book of Mormon our main focus of study, for it was written for our day. Ask your questions as you read / study / ponder the Book of Mormon:What lesson can I learn? Why did God want him to write this?
