The Zoramites’ prayer is the focus, here, but there are things that we have to learn both from it and from Alma’s discussion of it. Alma indicates that they pray with hearts full of pride, and this is clearly true. But I have noticed in my own life a common weakness where I will also pray with pride in my heart. I pray for vindication (of myself, of my beliefs) and I pray that others will change. I pray to get what I deserve. Not always, and (thankfully) not often, but sometimes it creeps in. I suppose that it likely happens with each of us. This is a reminder of how important it is for us to excise these things out of our lives and out of our prayers.
