Second Nephi 4:23

Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night-time.

Nephi wanted more than anything else in life to know God and learn from him. The price for admission to God's presence and trust is absolute faith, unwavering devotion, and diligent seeking.  If we let anything else come between us and our quest to know God, we will fail the test and fall short.
