1 Nephi 8:38

38  And after he had preached unto them, and also prophesied unto them of many things, he bade them to keep the commandments of the Lord; and he did cease speaking unto them.
    “and he did cease speaking unto them.”
            -this is a very important step in the process.  There comes a time when parents, leaders, teachers and friends must STOP speaking (sometimes known as “preaching) and allow others to exercise their agency, to make their decision.  There is reason in the pattern of our infrequent conversations with our Heavenly Father while here in mortality.  He has said everything he has to say and has given us sufficient direction… now it is time for use to decide of our own accord  He is largely silent during this phase of our existence.
