Mosiah 27

(March 12, 2010)
I read this scripture with a great deal of interest.  I see myself as having a large need for a extra helping of the atonement right now – or, in other words, I am presently acutely aware of my continuing need for Divine help.  Alma the Younger’s conversion is a fine example of being born again, and serves to provide hope for those of us struggling along.  While we cannot count on angels confronting us (although it happens more than we think, I expect), we can take comfort in the prayers of others.  And, in the final analysis, we can always cry out to the Lord through our despair ‘Oh Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me!”
