He was searching for the true church of God. Joseph read in the Bible that if you lack wisdom in your life, you can ask God through prayer and He will give you direction and help (see James 1:5).
Hinahanap niya noon ang tunay na simbahan ng Diyos. Nabasa ni Joseph sa Biblia na kung kulang ka sa karunungan, maaari kang humingi sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagdarasal at ikaw ay papatnubayan Niya at tutulungan (tingnan ang Santiago 1:5).
