Engage in no pursuit in which you cannot look up unto God, and say, 'Bless me in this, my Father!

About This Quote

The Lord tells Joseph Smith to engage in no pursuit in which he cannot look up unto God, and say, “Bless me in this, my Father!” Sometimes people chase their dreams blindly. They are focused on the end result without considering how they will get there. If they fall short, there is no one to hold their hand or give them guidance. Joseph Smith did not chase after fame or wealth. He had faith that God would provide for him when he needed it, and when he had it he worked for the good of others.
