Some Thoughts on Healing

"O ye, my people, lift up your heads and be comforted; for behold, the time is at hand, or is not far distant, when we shall no longer be in subjection to our enemies, notwithstanding our many strugglings, which have been in vain; yet I trust there remaineth an effectual struggle to be made. Therefore, lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God..And now, is not this grievous to be borne? And is not this, our affliction, great? Now behold, how great reason we have to mourn...But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage" (Mosiah 7:18-19, 23, 33).

"Surely [God] matches with His own the tears His children shed."
"Christ knows better than all others that the trials of life are very deep, and we are not shallow people if we struggle with them."
(Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, An High Priest of Good Things to Come)

"The second lesson of the Atonement is ... that God 'has a forgiving disposition,' that Christ 'is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, long-suffering, and full of goodness.' Mercy, with its sister virtues of repentance and forgiveness, is at the very heart of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Everything in the gospel teaches us that we can change if we really want to, that we can be helped if we truly ask for it, that we can be made whole, whatever the problems of the past ... To succor means 'to run to.' I testify that Christ will run to us, is running even now, if we will but receive the extended arm of His mercy. When we stagger or stumble, He is there to steady and strengthen us. In the end He is there to save us, and for all this He gave His life."
(Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Teaching, Preaching, and Healing)

"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not" (D&C 6:36)
"Pray always, and I will pour out my Spirit upon you, and great shall be your blessing -- yea even more than if you should obtain treasures of earth and corruptibles to the extent thereof. Behold, canst thou read this without rejoicing and lifting up thy heart for gladness?" (D&C 19:38-39)

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30).

"That man is greatest and most blessed and joyful whose life most closely approaches the pattern of the Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how close a life can come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ. He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life" (President Ezra Taft Benson).
