So did Moroni. Moroni challenged us to seek knowledge about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and its testimony of Jesus Christ. He outlined the educational process for gaining that knowledge. He said it was a three-step process with all three steps necessary for a successful outcome. Right between with a sincere heart and having faith in Christ Moroni counseled us to pray, with real intent.
Real intent means that there is no space for another outcome.
It means total and complete focus of all our available energies, and sometimes even energies which seem unavailable. We have seen real intent demonstrated for us. We saw it when Enos struggled all day and all night in mighty prayer, refusing to stop until he had qualified for the forgiveness he sought. In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children-and he fastened it upon the end of a pole. . . We saw it in 490 B.C.E. when Pheidippides, the famous Athenian runner, was ordered to hasten with all speed to Athens with the unexpected news of the Greek victory against the overwhelming forces of Darius of Persia on the plains of Marathon.
