The Book of Mormon and amnesia

Having been given mighty power from Heaven because of his unwavering devotion to God, the prophet Nephi(1), seeing how ongoing contention and wickedness among the people had boiled over into massive armed civil warfare, cried unto the Lord, saying “O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by the sword; but O Lord rather let there be a famine in the land, to stir them up to a remembrance of the Lord their God, and perhaps they will repent and turn unto thee.”(2)As the ensuing drought lengthened, their food supply evaporated and as they began to perish by the thousands, “they began to remember the Lord their God”(3), and to repent and humble themselves before Him.So it was that when Nephi saw this “he cried again unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, behold this people repenteth…Now, O Lord, because of this their humility…wilt thou turn away thine anger, yea, thine fierce anger, and cause that this famine may cease in this land…”(4)And so it was, in the seventy and sixth year (~15 B.C.), that “the Lord did turn away His anger…and the earth again did begin to bring forth grain and fruit, and the people did rejoice and glorify God…”(6)Now, as then, prosperity may bring amnesia, and then how quick we are to forget God altogether.
