“The Lord Said Unto Me: I Will Grant Unto Thee According to Thy Desires”

W. Cleon Skousen

The extended sense of compassion which Enos felt for his own people now extended to his hostile brethren, the Lamanites. By this time, the Lamanites were becoming a plague to the Nephites and making war against them continually. Notice that Enos says his prayer was not just a recitation of words, but a powerful struggle in the Spirit. Finally, the Lord consented to bless the Lamanites also, according to the desires of Enos.
