“Do Not Pray as the Zoramites Do”

Brant Gardner

Alma has already noted that Shiblon’s mission to the Zoramites was a watershed experience for him. Here, he reminds Shiblon of the Zoramite prayer to stress the importance of humility and of not boasting in one’s own strength. The Zoramites’ apostasy stemmed from precisely such pride and self-aggrandizement.
