Howdy! I have chosen one verse or phrase from each page of the Book of Mormon to share with my family daily. See the list here...

Alma
52:30 Now
Lehi was not desirous to overtake them till they should meet
Moroni and his army.
|
We do not have to fight our
spiritual or physical battles alone – we should use the help of
others. God wants to help us, we just need to ask.
...Father, thanks for many
folks you’ve place in my path to help me along this journey.
Thanks for Thy help when I feel alone. You’re always there and
will never leave me. Please help me be a help to others you place
in my path.

Alma
52:38 And
it came to pass that when the Lamanites had heard these words,
their chief captains, all those who were not slain, came forth and
threw down their weapons of war at the
feet of Moroni, and also commanded their men that they should do
the same.
|
What are our weapons of war
and how can we throw them down? We can analyze if our actions are
lifting others to Christ or pushing them away from Him. Then find
ways to help us feel the Spirit in each interaction of our day.
...Father, I have many
things I do that push me and others away from The Spirit. Please
help guide me as I strive to find ways to help myself and others
stay close to The Spirit today.
|
343
|
Alma
53:10 ...by
the power and word of God, they had been converted unto
the Lord;
...
|
The Spirit converts us to
Christ, people do not convert us. Let us use God’s words and
strive to live in a way that others can follow to find Jesus.
...Father, thanks for
helping me learn of Jesus and Thee and The Spirit. Thanks for thy
peace I feel when I study thy word and try to do what I believe
you would have me do.
|
344
|
Alma
53:20-21 And
they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not
all—they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing
they were entrusted. Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to
walk uprightly
before him.
|
How would others describe us?
If you want to be described with certain traits, develop them.
Become the person you’d want to be.
...Father, please help me
to become the person you know and want me to be. Guide me to paths
of goodness and ways of peace.
|
345
|
Alma
54:10 ...we
will maintain our religion and the cause of our God.
|
Are we committed to doing what
we believe is right, especially when it’s hard? When we have
hard times, what can we remember that will give us the strength to
continue staying faithful?
...Father, I wanna stay
strong in my faith of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please help me
find the strength when I’m weak, tired, and overwhelmed to do
right and strengthen my faith.
|
346
|
Alma
55:12 And
behold, if ye do not this, I will come against you with my armies;
yea, even I will arm my women and my children, and I will come
against you, and I will follow you even into your own land, which
is the land of our
first
inheritance; yea, and it shall be blood for blood, yea, life for
life; and I will give you battle even until you are destroyed from
off the face of the earth.
|
What do we desire? What are we
willing to fight for because we know it’s right? We need to
continue daily to come closer to Jesus and Heavenly Father.
...Father, help me live in
a way that I can have the Holy Spirit’s guidance and comfort
every moment of my life.
|
347
|
Alma
55:31 But
behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember
the
Lord their God in this their time of affliction. They could not be
taken in their snares; yea, they would not partake of their wine,
save they had first given to some of the Lamanite prisoners.
|
Satan uses many different
snares to help us fail. When we know his tricks, we can avoid
them.
...Father, thanks for the
scriptures which help us know the devil’s tactics so we can
avoid them. Please guide us today. Help us to avoid Satan’s
snares and stay firmly on thy path.
|
348
|
Alma
56:8 But
I would not suffer them that they should break this covenant
which
they had made, supposing that God would strengthen us, insomuch
that we should not suffer more because of the fulfilling the oath
which
they had taken.
|
How can we help others keep
their baptismal and temple covenants. If my suggestions, actions,
or words are moving others away from the spirit, I need to stop,
apologize, and quickly return to God’s path.
...Father, please forgive
my mistakes. Help me to be a strength to others and fulfill my
covenants.
|
349
|
Alma 56:17 ...those
sons
of
mine, gave them great hopes and much joy.
|
What can we do today that will
bring joy and hope to others?
...Father, when I stay
focused on Christ and ‘think celestial,’ It’s easier to have
a positive, helpful attitude.
|

Alma
56:47 Now
they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did
think more upon the liberty
of
their fathers
than
they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their
mothers,
that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.
|
Whose faith can we rely on
when ours is weak? How can we become the person that will help
strengthen others in their times of weakness?
...Father, there are many
people you’ve place in my path that have helped build my
testimony and shape me into the person I’ve become. Thanks for
the following people who have helped me __.
