Alma 58

(May 3, 2014)
There is a great deal to be said about the approach taken by Moroni and the others in this chapter.  They prayed diligently for the strength of the Lord to accompany them, and they trusted in His power to deliver them.  But, with that done, they were no less willing to engage in the difficult work required to accomplish the purposes of the Lord.  I think that I too often view prayers as coins thrown in the universal wishing well, cast down and quickly forgotten.  But the power in answer to the prayers of the Lord are so often to be given to magnify our own efforts, rather than supplanting them.
