Remember from the prior Chapter that Enos had previously endured many long struggles inside himself to come to a conclusion about what to ask. He does not make a perfunctory request. Enos could have asked for anything. It is all the more remarkable that Enos, when put to the test, decided to make a request for the benefit of his enemies, now his "brethren." The depth of Enos' humility is almost unfathomable. He asks nothing for himself; not wisdom, long life, a continuing mortal ministry, nor even to come speedily into the Lord's kingdom. Instead he asks the Lord to bless those who have rejected him, his people and his people's faith in Christ. We are reading a sacred account written by a man who followed Christ. We have surely come to holy ground as we are allowed this view into the relationship between Enos and his Lord. It is no wonder the Lord will later comment on Enos' great faith.
