Zoramite's Prayer
Alma's Prayer
First thing learned: It is necessary for them to pray in their synagogue. They raise their voices while praying to make
sure they are heard. He didn't go to the holy stand expecting to be heard by others. He knew the true nature of God, understood His character, and knew how He performs.
Unfortunately, their knowledge about God
and His nature is incorrect. They are unaware of whom to seek guidance from. Their prayers are filled with lies and arrogance. The prayers were also repetitive and didn’t do anything Second thing learned:
After praying, they would not rest their hearts and minds until they had gathered once again at the holy stand.
During his missionary work among the Zoramites, he prayed with
truth and inspiration from the Holy Ghost. His prayers were focused on asking for strength, comfort, and success for himself, as well as for the Zoramites.

2.
Share
your thoughts about your favorite slide with a quote. Please write at least three sentences
I would advise my friend that it's important to communicate our needs to God, as He cannot help us if we don't ask for His help. Additionally, I would suggest keeping a prayer
book to help her stay focused and keep track of how God answers her prayers.
I really appreciate the quote from Elder Boyd K. Packer. It's true that in today's world, there are many things that can hinder us. Therefore, we should take the time to sit down
and pray to our Father in heaven, creating a clear space to hear His voice.
