Jesus Christ agreed to come to earth and be our Savior!
What does that mean? It means you don’t have to handle your problems alone. The Savior is called the Deliverer because He can deliver you from every problem you will face in life.
As you trust Him, He can deliver you …
1. From Sin
We all fall short and mess up sometimes. As part of His Atonement, the Savior felt the burden of your sins. He knows perfectly how to help you work through your mistakes, developing new habits and attitudes as you repent. His representatives—the bishop or branch president—can help you feel God’s love and come closer to Him.
2. From Anger
The Savior can help you let go of angry feelings, large and small. He understands the pain that others caused you. You can trust that He will judge them—and you—perfectly someday. In the meantime, pray for the Spirit to replace anger and bitterness with comfort and peace.
3. From Fear
Christ understands you perfectly—including what scares you. He is more powerful than any evil! He calmed the seas, and He can calm you too.1 Invite His Spirit into your life through uplifting media, music, and conversations. Focus on His light instead of dark influences.
4. From Sorrow
Jesus Christ agreed to take upon Himself pains and afflictions of every kind, even emotional ones, so that He would know how to help you.2 Stay close to Him as you work through your sorrows. He will ease your burdens and strengthen you.3 He loves you!
5. From Death
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through. But because the Savior died and was resurrected, death is not the end! We will see our loved ones again someday. You can always have hope for the future.
