What is always one of the first steps to relieve physical or spiritual bondage?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The first step outlined in the Book of Mormon for removing the chains of bondage is to be humble before the Lord. Because of heartache and the heavy yoke of bondage, Limhi and his people humbled themselves before the Lord (Mosiah 21:13), ‘turn[ing] to the Lord with full purpose of heart’ as Limhi had instructed ([Mosiah] 7:33). … Limhi’s people acknowledged their guilt and turned to the Lord for his help” (Williams, “Deliverance from Bondage,” 269).
