Internal Strife

Alma 51:22

"Behold, it came to pass that while Moroni was thus breaking down the wars and contentions among his own people, and subjecting them to peace and civilization, and making regulations to prepare for war against the Lamanites, behold, the Lamanites had come into the land of Moroni, which was in the borders by the seashore."

There were disputes among the Nephites that left them weak and unable to defend some of their cities against the Lamanites. Sometimes, within our own families, there are disputes. These disputes do nothing beneficial. It is much better to resolve those matters so that we can focus on personal conflict with evil.
