And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, have mercy; according to thy abundant mercy which thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me, and my people.
When we recognize our guilt, our only hope is mercy. When we realize that we cannot possibly succeed on our own merits, we turn to the One whose merits are sufficient to overcome our deficiencies. When we cannot love ourselves, we call upon the One who loves us all the time and forever. "O Lord, have mercy," may be the most powerful, important, transformative words we will ever speak in this life.
