"Therefore we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, yea, and also give us strength that we might retain our cities, and our lands, and our possessions, for the support of our people.
Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him."
Alma 58:10-11
The context of these verses is the middle of a war in which they were outnumbered and had fewer resources than their enemies, so they felt that their situation was desperate. I feel like this is applicable to our times of desperation as well. If we pray to the Lord, he can help even when things seem darkest.
Today, let's not complain about or give in to our troubles, but instead, let's do as these faithful people did and pour out our souls in prayer to God. As we do, God will grant us faith and deliverance, and whether that deliverance is immediate or not, he will be able to speak peace to our souls, and grant us hope. :)
