A scripture from Jared

Alma 34 has that passage about all the different situations and places you can pray in, and pray in your hearts, and all that. My favorite scripture on prayer is the one right after that section, the one that gets left off too often. Verse 28 reads:

And now behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, do not suppose that this is all; for after ye have done all these things, if ye turn away the needy, and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted, and impart of your substance, if ye have, to those who stand in need -- I say unto you if ye do not any of these things, behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing, and ye are as hypocrites who do deny the faith.

It's not enough just to talk the walk, you have to walk the talk.
