Alma 58:10

therefore we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies; yea, and also give us strength, that we might retain our cities, and our lands, and our possessions, for the support of our people.

So we prayed hard to God. We asked him to make us strong and save us from our enemies. We asked him to help us keep our cities and our lands. We needed them to take care of our people.

So we poured out our souls in prayer to God. We begged him to make us strong and rescue us from our enemies. We asked for strength to hold our cities, our lands, and our possessions—everything our people needed to survive.
