In the Book of Mormon we read that after Alma had eaten at Amulek's house he introduced himself as the high priest over the church. He explained that he had been called to preach throughout the land, but had previously been rejected by the people and had left, thinking he'd never come back.  However, the Lord had other ideas and commanded him to come back. Alma stayed with Amulek for many days before he began preaching to the people again.  he told Amulek that he would be blessed for the care he had given him.  Alma 8:23-27 "And after he had eaten and was filled he said unto Amulek: I am Alma, and am the high priest over the church of God throughout the land.  And behold, I have been called to preach the word of God among all this people, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy; and I was in this land and they would not receive me, but they cast me out and I was about to set my back towards this land forever.  But behold, I have been commanded that I should turn again and prophesy unto this people, yea, and to testify against them concerning their iniquities.  And now, Amulek, because thou hast fed me and taken me in, thou art blessed; for I was an hungered, for I had fasted many days. And Alma tarried many days with Amulek before he began to preach unto the people."

In the Old Testament we read that because the people did not like what Jeremiah prophesied, they cast him into a muddy dungeon.  Jeremiah 38:1-6 "Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,  Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.  Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.  Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.  Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that the Lord will not leave us comfortless, but will come to us.  John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
