2 Nephi 32:3 has always been a favorite scripture, but it tells us that the scriptures will tell us all things that we should do. I've wondered about that since currently, my concerns about Young Women might be answered with scripture, but what about how to potty train Jonah? Or if I should buy a wheat grinder? I've always assumed that the answer was, while reading scripture I will be open to the Spirit which will answer my questions as I read. While I still think this is accurate, and have experienced it work this way, I had another idea while reading in Alma.
I think the scripture in 2 Nephi is also referring to prayer with our study. Then fast forward to Alma 34:19-27 which says we ought to pray over every thing we do. Perhaps that is the key. That as we pour our hearts out to the Lord and counsel with him, we will find the answers we speak in his word and from his Spirit. I don't think it's just saying, pray about everything or pray often. I think it's saying that the Lord will answer our questions individually, so if we pray about the little things, we will find those answers too.
