And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness, and they fasted much, and prayed much, that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, That they might be an instrument in the hands of God, to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites, to the knowledge of the truth; Alma 12:14-15
Having left the comfort and prestige of their homeland, Alma and the sons of Mosiah accepted the Lord’s call to take the gospel to their Lamanite brothers. After fourteen years of laboring, often under harsh circumstances, they reunited for a time of fasting and prayer that they might be even more effective in their efforts.
The ministry of the local has spent a number of hours studying the subject of fasting and prayer and is in agreement that the congregation could benefit much from exercising more fully this avenue of approaching our Lord. Let us consider this both individually and as a group that we might rise to a higher spiritual plane and be blessed with greater wisdom and understanding.
