SWEET IS THE WORD! ALMA 14:26 | jeni a.
(And I know, my sorry toes right now. yikes! At least Claire's are cute)!
"O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ..."
I admire Alma for humbly recognizing that the Lord's blessing would be given in a easure congruent to their faith. He didn't just say (like I seem to always say), "Bless me, help me;" he said, "Please respond to me in the same way I show my faith in thee." He was an agent - willing to act for himself - even in his prayer for heaven's help. Knowing how God feels about never encroaching on our agency, that kind of approach has to be respected -- and it was (verses 27-29)!
