Alma 4:7
I can see Alma bowing in fervent prayer asking Father for strength and direction to help his people shake off the shackles of pride. Right next to Alma I see our own dear prophet today praying the very same prayer. They do not gloat that they are better or that they had overcome. They sorrow for the afflictions of the humble followers of Christ, especially when hose afflictions come from prideful members of the church. They seek to purge the pride without permanent damage to the prideful. They do not hate then as enemies, but love them as errant brethren. It is not only the prophet, but his fellow elders, priests and teachers who so pray. Let me answer a prayer by not being a part of the problem, but let me be one of the truly humble followers of Christ.
