Chapter 26, verses 13 & 33: When Alma was confronted with a new situation, he asked the Lord for guidance because he was afraid of doing wrong in the sight of God. It might have been easy for him to rely on past prayers or to have a casual attitude about it, thinking he was in tune with the Spirit so he'd be fine. Instead, he sought the Lord diligently in prayer. He did not have a casual attitude toward the new problem he faced. He was rewarded with a direct and specific revelation. Further evidence that he did not take it lightly is that he wrote the words of the revelation down, "that he might have them."
I am faced with a new and difficult question. So far I have taken a casual approach to it, but reading this tonight tells me I need to follow Alma's example. I need to be afraid to do wrong in the sight of God and pray earnestly to know his will.
