How might have Alma’s afflictions worked together with his sincerity in calling forth the mercy of the Lord?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Often afflictions lead some to sincerity! When our souls have been stretched; when our bodies or our hearts have been racked with pain and frustration; when our present hopes have been dashed; when there is no place to go but to God for comfort—at such a time our words more truly reflect and mirror the soul’s sincere desire” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 3:240).
