To Be Healed By Our Savior

It is God's will to heal:

Exo. 15:26b I am the Lord that healeth thee

Deut. 7: 15 The Lord will take from thee all sickness...

President Henry B. Eyring taught:

 “It will comfort us when we must wait in distress for the Savior’s promised 

relief that He knows, from experience, how to heal and help us. … 

And faith in that power will give us 

patience 

as we pray and work and wait for help. 

He could have known how to succor us simply by revelation, but 

He chose to learn by His own personal experience.”

As Elder Dallin H. Oaks has taught:

 “Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs,

 as known to Him who loves us best. 

Sometimes a ‘healing’ cures our illness or lifts our burden. 

But sometimes we are ‘healed’ by being given strength or understanding or 

patience to bear the burdens placed upon us.”¹⁷ All that will come may be 

“clasped in the arms of Jesus.”¹⁸ All souls can be healed by His power.

 All pain can be soothed. In Him, we can

 “find rest unto [our] souls.”¹⁹ Our mortal circumstances 

may not immediately change, but our 

pain, worry, suffering, and fear 

can be swallowed up in His peace and healing balm.

To all of us the Savior said:

“Behold, ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; 

ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth."

“Fear not, little children, for you are mine. …"

“Wherefore, I am in your midst, 

and I am the good shepherd."

Doctrine and Covenants 50:40–41, 44

 Savior, Redeemer of my soul,
Whose mighty hand hath made me whole,
Whose wondrous pow’r hath raised me up
And filled with sweet my bitter cup!
What tongue my gratitude can tell,
O gracious God of Israel.

Orson F. Whitney, 1855–1931
