War was a common threat for communities in the Book of Mormon. People often turned to God to guide them when their prospects looked bleak.
“Therefore we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies… Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him” (Alma 58:10–11).
No matter what battles we face, turning to God can give us perspective and hope. How have you turned to God during times of conflict in your life?
