Alma 2

Amlici seeks to be king and when he can't do it by law, he tries by force. It's bad enough when you have to war against another country or countries, but to have to war against your own people is particularly terrible. What's makes this worse is the people who who call themselves Amlicites unite with the Lamanites in the war against the Nephites. Had the the Amlicites and Lamanites won the war, Amlici would have been made king, but would have also put himself and all of the Nephites in bondage to the Lamanites again. No doubt, the lure of power blinded the Amilici to that possibility. The Nephites, though smaller in number, win the war because of the strength of the Lord that's added to their own. I would hate to face any calamity, disaster, war, or anything difficult without knowing the Lord is there to help me. I wouldn't want to face any challenge alone. To face it with his help would give me strength and faith in my ability to meet it head on and see it through.
