(Video) Turn to the Lord for Peace - The Importance of Remembering

I am so compelled by the story of the people that left Zarahemla and eventually returned to Zarahemla: Zeniff's group, Alma's group that ran away was an off-shoot of Zeniff's group, and Ammon's group that went looking for Zenniff at King Mosiah's request. Also, the people of Zarahemla that the Lord directed to that part of the land in the first place, and Mosiah, King Benjamin's father, who was led by the Lord out of the land of Nephi to the land of Zarahemla.

When I was asked to share a recorded message this week, I thought about the below passage of scriptures that deeply affected me as I was studying them last week. I put my thoughts into a video recording so that you can both listen to my thoughts and watch some slides I made to go with them here. It's seven minutes long.

The talk is centered around these scriptures:

Mosiah 23:25-29 -

25 For behold, it came to pass that while they were in the land of Helam, yea, in the city of Helam, while tilling the land round about, behold an army of the Lamanites was in the borders of the land.

26 Now it came to pass that the brethren of Alma fled from their fields, and gathered themselves together in the city of Helam; and they were much frightened because of the appearance of the Lamanites.

27 But Alma went forth and stood among them, and exhorted them that they should not be frightened, but that they should remember the Lord their God and he would deliver them.

28 Therefore they hushed their fears, and began to cry unto the Lord that he would soften the hearts of the Lamanites, that they would spare them, and their wives, and their children.

29 And it came to pass that the Lord did soften the hearts of the Lamanites. And Alma and his brethren went forth and delivered themselves up into their hands; and the Lamanites took possession of the land of Helam.
