Today we conclude our study of the transformative experience of Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah. We consider the role the prayers of the righteous did have in this marvellous event and reflect on how this applies to us. 

Paul H Dunn: I suppose the tendency then, as it often seems to be today, was to ‘write him off.’ But you know the miraculous story of how an angel of the Lord appeared to that young man and how he became one of the greatest missionaries in the church of Christ. What was it that caused that great change to occur? The angel testified to Alma the following: ‘Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father.’

"Think of it! The power of parental prayer! As we consider the challenge of rearing children in a world fraught with temptations, false ideologies, and materialistic enticements, do you not feel the need for guidance and inspiration beyond your human capacity? There is no greater help or strength that a father or mother can obtain than through securing that help from the Lord.
