Day 23- Atonement Insight

The Atonement Gives Us the Strength to Endure

"The Atonement of Jesus Christ and the healing it offers do much more than provide the opportunity for repentance from sins. The Atonement also gives us the strength to endure 'pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind,' because our Savior also took upon Him 'the pains and the sicknesses of his people' (Alma 7:11). Brothers and sisters, if your faith and prayers and the power of the priesthood do not heal you from an affliction, the power of the Atonement will surely give you the strength to bear the burden."

Dallin H. Oaks, "He Heals the Heavy Laden," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 9


The atonement can give us strength to bear any burden. The atonement not only provides repentance but healing. The healing of physical, mental, and spiritual anguish. We can be healed from pain, temptation, and afflictions of all kind. As we have more faith in the atonement, we can be healed or at least we will have more strength to bear our burdens.
