Alma 44

Verse 19

Now Zerahemnah, when he saw that they were all about to be destroyed, cried mightily unto Moroni, promising that he would covenant and also his people with them, if they would spare the remainder of their lives, that they ^anever would come to war again against them.

The Comments:

Zarahemna finally cracks.  He sees that he and his men are about to be destroyed, and the pleads with Moroni to spare them and let them take the oath.

My likening perspective keeps going back and forth through here—sometimes we’re the Nephites and sometimes we’re the Lamanites.

In this case, we can be like Zarahemna wo, after his stubbornness, finds himself at the end of his rope begging for help.  For deliverance.

This is us. We do this. And the Lord is always there for us. Although He may not “deliver” us from a bad situation that we’ve gotten ourselves into, but He will help us find a way out.
