Cry Unto Him for Mercy; for He is Mighty to Save

Folks, it's been a stressful week for me at my full-time job, but I'm here to say I've felt your prayers and the prayers of others around me.

My wife and I went to the temple last night, and as we sat in the Celestial Room, I again had confirmation that God knows me and knows my concerns and fears and he sent a comforting spirit to help me feel that.

I know God listens to prayers, and wants to help us in all we do as we do our best and remain worthy to tap into His blessings.

As I sat there, I grabbed a copy of the Book of Mormon, and opened it and random. I landed in Alma 34, where Amulek testifies that we can and should pray for temporal and spiritual blessings:

17 Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye may begin to exercise your faith unto repentance, that ye begin to call upon his holy name, that he would have mercy upon you;

18 Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save.

19 Yea, humble yourselves, and continue in prayer unto him.

20 Cry unto him when ye are in your fields, yea, over all your flocks.

21 Cry unto him in your houses, yea, over all your household, both morning, mid-day, and evening.

22 Yea, cry unto him against the power of your enemies.

23 Yea, cry unto him against the devil, who is an enemy to all righteousness.

24 Cry unto him over the crops of your fields, that ye may prosper in them.

25 Cry over the flocks of your fields, that they may increase.

26 But this is not all; ye must pour out your souls in your closets, and your secret places, and in your wilderness.

27 Yea, and when you do not cry unto the Lord, let your hearts be full, drawn out in prayer unto him continually for your welfare, and also for the welfare of those who are around you.

Thank you for your help.
