Study the Principle of Learning: Exercise Faith in Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ can help me do all things as I exercise faith in Him.

In the Bible, we learn about a woman who had been sick for many years. She spent all of her money trying to find a cure. She had gone to many doctors, but her illness got worse. Then the woman heard about Jesus. She saw him in a crowd of people. She believed Jesus had the power to heal her. She believed if she could just touch his clothes, she would be healed. She came behind Jesus and touched His clothing. She felt her body heal. Jesus felt power leave His body. When He asked who had touched His clothes, she was afraid to admit it was her at first, but then she confessed it was her.

Jesus said, “Be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace” (Luke 8:48).

This woman believed, and she acted in faith. Reaching out to Jesus was a small act, but it brought His power into her life. You don’t have to be ashamed or afraid to ask God for help. He wants to help you. When you exercise faith, even in small ways, it can bring Jesus Christ’s power into your life.

Act in Faith to Practice English Daily

“When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do [see Doctrine and Covenants 88:63]. When you spiritually stretch beyond anything you have ever done before, then His power will flow into you” (Russell M. Nelson, “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 42).
