Tammy Uzelac Hall breaks down the steps of Enos’ prayer found in Enos 1:4:

1.     He kneeled.

2.     He engaged in mighty prayer. (In Hebrew, "to cry" is to utter a loud sound for help.)

3.     He asked for supplication, which is a prayerful petition, earnest request, for his own soul.

4.     He cried all day long.

5.     He cried into the night.

She then explains how we can use Enos’ example and other verses of scripture as a recipe for our own prayers:

·         Pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all things (Mosiah 26:39)

·         Doubt nothing (Mormon 9:21)

·         Struggle and labor diligently (Enos 1:11-12)

·         Have faith (Enos 1:8,12 and "help thou my unbelief" Mark 9:17-24)

·         Pray for others like Enos and Lehi (Enos 1:9,11 and 1 Nephi 1:5, 15)

·         Ask for that which is right (3 Nephi 18:20)
