Words of Mormon 1:8 -- On Prayers for the Future

"And my prayer to God is concerning my brethren, that they may once again come to the knowledge of God, yea, the redemption of Christ; that they may once again be a delightsome people."
Words of Mormon 1:8


This prayer is cool. I am not sure how much experience Mormon had of his people being righteous, but it was enough to raise an amazing son and to have enough hope that he could listen to and become converted to the Lord. This is a prayer of hope in a time of little hope, because God blessed Mormon to be able to see with a little bit of His perspective, seeing the vastly long view of a future when his people would return to the Lord.

I think the Lord can bless us similarly, to see the hope through time and the goodness in the tree that might currently be producing bad fruit. He can bless the future that we cannot reach. Today, let's let God guide our prayers, and let us pray and work for the future that we long to see.
