Enos is pretty good, really. I love that it explains that he "struggled" and "wrestled" in his prayers. It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy for him to accept the answers to his prayers, or to even GET the answers to his prayers. He prayed all day to get comfort. I love that in verse 4 it says "my soul hungered and I kneeled down before my Maker and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul and all the day long did I cry unto him, yeah and when the night came did I still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens" The answers didn't come automatically. Just like our answers rarely come automatically.
In my patriarchal blessing, it tells me to have patience for my answers and to accept them with courage and determination. And to know that they are always heard and will be answered. Elder Packer said today that the voice of the spirit is a feeling rather than a sound. The answers rarely come in a loud booming voice, but with a feeling in your heart and mind. Now I just need to work on recognizing that as it happens!!
