Rhetoric: Amulek reprises the theme of prayer, in which both he and Alma had instructed the people. Prayer is essential in the process of planting and nourishing the seed of faith, so taking that action will materially develop their faith. The fact that he does not instruct them in forms of prayer tells us that his listeners already knew how to pray and, without being told, knew that they could continue to use the kind of prayer already offered in their households, not any version of the public form declaimed from the Rameumptom.
