Alma 38

So I was reading in Alma 38 during Sunday School yesterday. I reread it and thought about the verse... "And it came to pass that I was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul." He talks about crying out to The Lord, not just praying, talking, asking or conversing, but crying! It hit me hard because I thought about how I feel when I pray and how I feel when I cry in prayer. There is a stark difference in The Spirit. It was perfect for me to think about it and to evaluate my prayers. It's when we cry in The Spirit of prayer that we are filled with peace and consolation. It is then we find our path and the will of God.

Love,
Elder Trotman
