"And now the spirit of Alma was again troubled; and he went and inquired of the Lord what he should do concerning this matter, for he feared that he should do wrong in the sight of God.
And it came to pass that after he had poured out his whole soul to God, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying:"
Mosiah 26:13-14
I know it is sort of a weird place to stop at the end there, but I liked this central portion because it talks about how to solve a problem. The story is good, but outside of the story it doesn't so much matter what the "matter" was or what God's answer was... it shows us that if we are humble, and we go to the Lord and pour out our souls to him, that he will help us.
That said, pouring out our souls to God is not a light or an easy thing. It requires sincerity and effort, and if we want to really change things, depending on what the issue is, it isn't just the one effort, but sustained effort over time. We have to really value getting the answer... enough to invest ourselves into working for a solution with God.
Today, let's be willing to turn to God and put forth the answers to solve the problems before us. Let's work on getting answers from the Lord, and the sustained effort and mindfulness that it takes to keep the spirit with us and remember God always, so that we can always have that connection and help.
