One of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon is Alma 37, where Alma is giving counsel to his son, Helaman. This chapter has many reminders of what I need to be doing in my daily life to be focused on the Savior. When I’m struggling with something, I often prayerfully reread this chapter and what the Lord wants me to do will become clearer to me.
The scriptures that I come to most often are Alma 37:36-37 which read, “Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord…and He will direct thee for good”. I have a quote here in my scriptures from Elder Melvin J. Ballard from April 1931 Conference Report that reads, “I know nothing today that the Latter-day Saints need more than the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the solution of the problems of life.”
This is a great reminder to me to faithfully seek the Lord first and He will always, lovingly direct us in the path we should go.
