“Alma’s purpose in quoting Zenos was to show that they did not have to go to their synagogue to pray or worship. The Lord had heard Zenos’s prayer in every possible place, the wilderness, his field, his house, in the closet in his house, and even in the midst of the Lord’s congregations. It was not where he prayed, but how sincerely he prayed to the Lord that was mercifully answered under trying circumstances” (Nyman, Record of Alma, 424).
