We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

And they gave thanks to God yea, all their men and all their women and all their children that could speak lifted their voices in the praise of their God."

I am feeling extremely grateful this morning for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that without his atonement and without his mediation on my behalf I would not be strong and withstand the temptations that come before me. It took a bit of searching to find exactly what I'm feeling but Mosiah 24:21 comes the closest. So Amulon persecuted Alma and his people. They called upon God in mighty prayer and he prepared a way for them to escape.
 "Yea, and in the valley of Alma they poured out their thanks to God because he had been merciful unto them, and eased their burdens, and had delivered them out of bondage: for they were in bondage and none could deliver them except it were the Lord  their God . And they gave thanks to God yea, all their men and all their women and all their children that could speak lifted their voices in the praise of their God."   
Oh, I know the troubles are not over but like the people of Alma I know that none could deliver me except through the mercies and atonement of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
