Day 39

Read: Alma 2-4

Mark: Alma 2:18, 28

“Safety can’t be won by tanks and guns and airplanes and atomic bombs. There is only one place of safety and that is in the realm of the Almighty God that he gives to those who keep his commandments and listen to his voice.”

~ President Harold B. Lee

Why were the Nephites strengthened by the Lord? How can we receive the Lord’s help in the challenges we face?

*The Nephites were strengthened and protected because they were faithful, they prayed, and were worthy of the blessings Heavenly Father gave them.  If I am doing all that I can to be righteous and living the gospel then the Lord is bound.  He may not give me a million dollars, but he will give me the blessings I need.  If it be His will for me to be protected, I will be.  there was a terrible storm last week and I had to go to the basement with Sonny.  I prayed for my house, my car, my parents house and for my safety and Sonny's safety.  I prayed for my family that they would be safe and comforted. I was blessed and protected.  I only lost a couple of windows to the storm, but my house stood firm and I was protected.  I had faith that I would be OK, and that if something went terribly wrong, I would be able to fix it.
