Look at verse 7: "O the pain, and the anguish of my soul for the loss of the slain of my people!" Can you imagine Nephi’s feelings as he was shown the awful destruction of his own people? Nephi, undoubtedly, had hope and a desire for the best for his posterity. Don’t we all wish for the best for our children, our grandchildren, and our posterity? Nephi knew that there would be many good things that would happen in the lives of his posterity. Christ would even come to them. But Nephi also knew that they would be destroyed—and what pain and anguish that must have made him feel. We all can relate with Nephi. However, in spite of that inexpressible agony, what was Nephi’s response at the end of this verse? Did he curse God and object to what will happen? No. He said, "I must cry unto my God: thy ways are just." What a lesson we can learn from Nephi on how we can regroup and respond to calamities and problems, many of which are happening today in the world.
