Sister Amy A. Wright, second counselor in the Primary general presidency, spoke during the Sunday morning session of April 2022 general conference. She testified of the healing power of the Savior. The following is a summary of what she said.
“Unburdening our hearts through forgiveness isn’t always easy, but through the enabling power of Jesus Christ, it is possible.”
“Waiting upon the Lord can be a sacred place — a place of polishing and refining where we can come to know the Savior in a deeply personal way.”
“There is nothing in your life that is broken that is beyond the curative, redeeming and enabling power of Jesus Christ.”
The scriptures teach how the Savior helps individuals overcome broken relationships with God, others and one’s self.
“He is the source of healing all that is broken in our lives. As the great Mediator and Advocate with the Father, Christ sanctifies and restores broken relationships.”
Many stories in the scriptures don’t contain more than a small snippet or circumstance in someone’s life. These moments don’t define the individuals mentioned.
“The purpose of these scriptural accounts is to help us see that Jesus Christ was the answer then, and He is the answer now. He knows our complete story and exactly what we suffer, as well as our capabilities and vulnerabilities.”
Regardless of personal circumstances or the difficulty involved, the Lord requires all individuals to forgive each other.
“Unburdening our hearts through forgiveness isn’t always easy, but through the enabling power of Jesus Christ, it is possible.”
Similar to forgiving, waiting can also be hard — waiting for answers, miracles or healing.
“Waiting upon the Lord can be a sacred place. A place of polishing and refining where we can come to know the Savior in a deeply personal way.”
“There is nothing in your life that is broken that is beyond the curative, redeeming and enabling power of Jesus Christ.”
