I was pondering the experience of Alma the younger in Mosiah 27 and I had a lightening bolt experience. Alma the Elder prayed with much faith for his wayward son and the Lord answered his prayer by sending an angel.
I realized there are all kinds of parents in this world praying for their wayward sons, and The Lord responds to their prayers the very same way he responded to Alma: He sends angels.
Many times these angels are dressed in white shirts and ties with the name of Jesus Christ on their chest. They are our missionaries (Alma 24:14). Many of them are an answer to the prayers of a faithful parent.
Sometimes these faithful parents are in the Spirit World praying for their wayward sons here on the earth, and The Lord sends earthly angels. Sometimes these faithful parents are on earth, and the Lord sends angels from the Spirit World. In both cases, those who carry a message of repentance and salvation are, indeed, miracle-workers in the lives of wayward sons.
