My main takeaway from scripture study tonight is that we should pray for whatever we need, be it strength, protection, relief, wisdom, guidance, healing, patience, or anything else. God is the source of all blessings. If we need any kinds of blessings, we should pray to God for them. In Mosiah 9:17-18, we read about how the people of King Zeniff needed strength and deliverance, prayed for it, and got it.
Yea, in the strength of the Lord did we go forth to battle against the Lamanites; for I and my people did cry mightily to the Lord that he would deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, for we were awakened to a remembrance of the deliverance of our fathers.
And God did hear our cries and did answer our prayers; and we did go forth in his might... (Mosiah 9:17-18)
We often need strength. We often need deliverance. We often need help developing Christlike attributes and overcoming the many perils and obstacles of life. Whatever our various problems are, God has the solutions, and He is often willing to offer us those solutions if we ask for them in prayer.
