Alma 58


Helaman and his men were in dire states, so they poured out their souls in prayer unto God that he would strengthen them and deliver them from their enemies. The Lord visited them with assurances that he would deliver them. He gave them peace in the midst of this turmoil. He gave them faith and cause them to hope for their deliverance, because they knew God would keep his promises.

Dennis E. Simmons said:
“If all the world is crumbling around us, the promised Comforter will provide His peace as a result of true discipleship. . . . We can have His peace with us irrespective of the troubles of the world. His peace is that peace, that serenity, that comfort spoken to our hearts and minds by the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, as we strive to follow Him and keep His commandments. . . . 
“Just as Helaman discovered in the midst of battle that ‘he did speak peace to our souls’ (Alma 58:11) . . . , all sincere seekers can have that same peace spoken to them. That peace comes from the assurances spoken by a still, small voice” ("His Peace").
We can also have that peace. We can find it even in the midst of craziness that happens in mortality. We you are faithful and have a hope in Christ, you do not fear and you are at peace.
