- Praying for Alma the younger—I have a feeling that I understand how Alma the elder felt in praying for his son.
- I can only guess at how many years he prayed before the angel came.
- I can imagine the frustration and disappointment as he watched his son repeatedly reject his teachings and his example to pursue a destructive path.
- Laura’s path is less overtly destructive and her rejection less kinetic but I fear that a good portion of the time I spent trying to be supportive was effectively enabling her to become settled deeper into the pit of inaction.
- I feel trapped in a spot where I can’t give her the kind of pressure that she requires to get her out of this rut without destroying her ability to feel safe in our relationship.
