If You are Righteous Enough, Can You Get Blessings for Other People?

When I think of the word "righteous", sometimes I get a picture in my head of a list of tasks with checkmarks. That is completely incorrect and more like the style of worship the Pharisees lived in ancient times. The Savior frequently denounced their hypocrisy. The condition of their hearts did not match their actions.

The ancient prophet Moroni said, "For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also. For behold, God hath said a man being aevil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real dintent it profiteth him nothing. For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness." Moroni 7:5-7

Righteousness is seeking out the Lord's will and being obedient because we love Him. It involves being pure inside and out, with integrity of heart. There are times He is persuaded to grant us the special blessing we seek because of our love for Him. Sometimes that blessing is for ourselves, sometimes it is on behalf of someone else. We must remember that just because we ask and seek does not mean it will be given unless it is in harmony with His will for us. I could pray for the rest of my life to win the lottery but I doubt He wants me to go through that grand challenge before I master the smaller challenge of working within my means, budgeting and doing all things within my power to be a wise steward over my finances.

In the account of Alma the Younger in the Book of Mormon, an angel visits him to command him to cease his behavior which was injurious to the church. "...the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith." Mosiah 27:14

The pleadings of a righteous father and a people rang in the Lord's ears and He answered in a grand way. Can we plead for blessings for those we love? Of course we can! Does our faith and righteousness have power to persuade the Lord to bless? Yes, they do but each and every prayer needs to be concluded with "Thy will be done."

Elder Dale G. Renlund compared faith to the action of lighting a match to the process of building a fire. He said, "Restored truth reveals that blessings are never earned, but faith-inspired actions on our part, both initial and ongoing, are essential...most blessings that God desires to give us require action on our part—action based on our faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in the Savior is a principle of action and of power. First we act in faith; then the power comes—according to God’s will and timing. The sequence is crucial.The required action, though, is always tiny when compared to the blessings we ultimately receive." 1

Blessings pronounced and sealed upon our heads by those in authority are passed down to our posterity by inheritance. In such a way, we can seek blessings on behalf of others. The thirteenth article of faith states, "if there is anything lovely, virtuous, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." May we continually seek to bless others through our actions and inspired prayer!

  • It all started with a promise that couldn’t be ignored. Last year, I stumbled upon an online investment platform called “CryptoFortuneX” that advertised super high returns on Bitcoin and USDT investments. Their beautiful website, great customer reviews, and “24/7 expert support” sealed my decision. In two months, I had $565,000 worth of USDT invested, reassured by fake portfolio updates showing steady growth. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, excuses came: server errors, verification delays, and finally, radio silence, panic set in. I’d been scammed. Desperate, I scoured forums for solutions and discovered Dexdert Net Pro, a cybersecurity firm specializing in crypto fraud recovery. I reached out. Their team responded within hours, asking for transaction records, wallet addresses, and every scrap of communication with CryptoFortuneX,  They traced my USDT through blockchain ledgers, uncovering a labyrinth of wallets designed to obscure the trail, Weeks of tension followed, The recovery wasn’t instant—it took Week of legal wrangling and compliance checks. But in the end, I regained my $565,000 USDT successfully Dexdert’s transparency amazed me, Today, I’m rebuilding, wiser and grateful for Dexdert’s tenacity. They didn’t just reclaim my money—They even provided post-recovery guidance to secure my assets,  safeguarding countless others. If you’ve been scammed, don’t lose hope. But act swiftly: in the crypto world, time is the thief’s greatest ally.

  • I did a lot of research on how to recover stolen Bitcoin funds after I unexpectedly lost $320,000 while trading. I found several referrals and advertisements that had gotten help from [RECOVERY NERD], so I reached out and was really impressed with the service I received. Not only did I get my $320,000 back, but I also got my hacked social media accounts back. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, don’t worry; just contact recoverynerd@mail.com. For all your hacking issues, you can be sure you will get back everything you lost.

  • My friend and I invested in a crypto exchange late last year and we saw our investment being completely wiped out by the crooks who set up the same exchange account for us, at first, we wondered how that was possible to lose everything at once until we hired a private investigator and crypto recovery team Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to let us know that this crypto exchange was a series of crime being perpetrated by Crypto con men, however, Morphohack surprised us when they told us that it was possible to recover our crypto investment funds without breaking a sweat, and it did happen, Morphohack recovered our crypto assets from this exchange and we were able to track down these conmen. I applaud the service of Morphohack, and how they were professional and very responsive to us. I can attest to their commitment and ability to deliver when you need them. Reach out to them if you’ve experienced such crypto investment scams. You can reach them via the following
