31:5 - "...the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else..."
This relates to Helaman - where one missionary effort by 2 men made a greater difference than a huge military campaign.
31:38 - "...the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith..."
What a great blessing - and they received this blessing through faith.
You see the request in vs. 32-35 - and since it was a righteous desire, the Lord granted it to them. This helps us have faith that our own righteous desires will be answered.
