Alma and his people labored for the church, "walking (with God), in all diligence, teaching the word of God in all things, suffering all manner of afflictions, being persecuted by all those who did not belong to the church of God. 
And they did admonish their brethren; and they were also admonished, every one by the word of God, according to his sins, or to the sins which he had committed, being commanded of God to pray without ceasing, and to give thanks in al things." (Alma 26:38-39)

That is an amazing scripture and has a lot of application in it that we should be following and doing in our own life as well.

"for he has prayed with much faith," (Mosiah 27:14)
How can we pray with more faith? What would be required of me to change the way I pray to have more faith?
I should probably ask for the Lords oppion and His guidance and counsel more then giving it to Him. I often find myself telling Him what I want to come out of my life instead of asking Him what I need to do in order to fullfill His will like Christ would.
As you draw nearer to the Lord, He will guide you to become the best version of yourself and to make inspired decisions in your life. –M Russell Ballard:   James B. Martino - October 2015 LDS General Conference #lds #ldsconf #quotes:

Blessing- I know where my strength comes from (Heaenly Father), I have a testimony of the scripture and of prayer and I have the strength to continue to do what I need to even when life gets hard.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
