Enos was
Jacob’s son and grandson of Lehi. He had
a desire to repent. He went into the
mountains to hunt and in the process prayed all day and all night, periodically
kneeing and pleading, walking and crying to the Lord, and kneeling again in solemn
humility, until in the morning came the voice of the Lord forgiving him of his
sin, sweeping his guilt away. He described this process as a “wrestle.” Enos rejoiced and wondered out loud how it
was done. They Lord told him it was
because of his faith in the Atonement of Christ. Enos then prayed for his family, the
Nephites, and for his family, the Lamanites who had apostatized. Once we obtain blessings (in this case
forgiveness of sins) for ourselves we naturally and appropriately ask for those
same blessings for others.
