And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions. And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.
Sometimes God removes our burdens, but more often he strengths us to bear them more capably. He is wise enough to know what we need to keep us humble and ever seeking him without breaking us. When the time is right, we will be free. In the meantime, we will be empowered. When we can stop fighting God's plan and submit cheerfully and patiently, it doesn't really matter whether we are rescued or not, and that is usually when deliverance comes.
