I think I know what Alma felt when he prayed that the Lord would help him bear with his infirmities—he recognized within himself an inclination to shrink from daunting tasks. That’s a natural human inclination (I think the majority of people feel that way) and he recognized that the task of reclaiming the Zoramites was a monumental one.
Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe.
Alma 32:17
Alma was referring to Korihor there who had asked for a sign before he was eventually killed while being among the Zoramites after he received the sign he demanded.
