The Book of Mormon: Another Witness

1. Read Jacob 7:27, Enos 1:1-4. From Jacob 7:27, what did Enos promise his father? What words did Enos recall from the teachings of his father, that caused his soul to hunger?

2. Read Enos 1:5-9. What was the result of Enos' mighty prayer? What role did faith in Christ play in Enos' heartfelt desire for the welfare of his people?

3. Read Enos 1:10-14. What do you think it means to struggle in the spirit (see Enos 1:10, 11)? What other words used by Enos give you the same impression? Where did Enos' struggling lead him in his prayer?

4. Read Enos 1:15-18. Why was Jacob's soul finally at rest? What do you think Enos knew about the faith of his fathers (Nephi and Jacob)? 

5. Read Enos 1:19-21. Why weren't Enos' prayers on behalf of his brethren answered with missionary success immediately?

6. Read Enos 1:22-24. Who was Enos describing in Enos 1:22-23? What seems so have been their problem? How were they blessed?

7. Read Enos 1:25-27. Why was Enos so confident about his standing before Christ? What pattern did he leave us so that we also might have confidence in our relationship with deity?
