Alma 33:6
6 And again, O God, when I did turn to my house thou didst hear

Alma 33:8
8 Yea, thou art merciful unto thy children when they cry unto
thee, to be heard of thee and not of men, and thou wilt hear

9 Yea, O God, thou hast been merciful unto me, and heard my
cries in the midst of thy congregations.
Alma 33:10
10 Yea, and thou hast also heard me when I have been cast out
