Because of the willingness of the sons of Mosiah to reach out to God and to ask for help; to fast and pray and study the scriptures. They did all they knew to do and were able to have much success. God has promised us that if we do His will and what He has asked that He will help us and be with us always. Now we just have to choose to do so and go ahead and start not doubting.

"...the Lord did visit them with his spirit, and said unto them; be comforted."

 Comforted- participle passive Strengthened; consoled; encouraged.
The spirit can bring to us feelings of peace, comfort, and joy when we are doing what the Lord has asked us to do and living in such a way that is welcoming to him.

>These verses are a good example to me of the Lord always coming through, doing as He has promised and strengthened us in times of need. It is often hard to go through trials and tribulation in this live especially not understanding the end result or the bigger picture. But having faith in God and that He has a master plan will make it that much easier and not only that but will give us the strength to go to Him in prayer and fasting and ask for more strength and comfort in the journey of life.

Blessing- The Lord cares about me and will listen to me no matte what.

Heber J.

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...
