The Lord Will Be Merciful unto All Who Call on His Name

Alma teaches of the Lord’s unwavering commitment to assist when sought after.

“…The Lord will be merciful unto all who call on his name.” (Alma 9:17)

Questions:

-In how many ways can the Lord’s mercy be expressed in a life?

-Knowing all things from the beginning, is it possible He will express His mercy in unexpected ways? Or, in ways not requested?

-Does the truth expressed above help explain why missionary work is so important? Is it possible to call on the Lord for mercy if a person doesn’t know there is a loving God from whom help can be received?
