Living amongst single adults I learned the importance of not judging one another.  Everyone has their demons to fight.  After learning about my friends’ demons, it really struck me that we all go through hard trials.  Some might have little to no self-worth, others suffer from health issues, others have addictive behavior, and others have past demons that they need to overcome. 

There is a way that we can all overcome them.  There is someone out there to help.  That is our Savior Jesus Christ.  He felt everything for us.  He is the only one that can help us. 

While praying in the Garden of Gethsemane Christ knew what he was going to go through was going to be hard.  He didn’t fully understand how hard it would be.  He asked Peter, James, and John to sit with Him because He wanted the support, but they fell asleep.  Then Christ slowly walked into the Garden and He fell to His face.  Everything he was carrying on His shoulders was too much.  Starting the prayer Christ said slowly, “Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.”  Christ didn’t want this weight on Him, and saying nevertheless he turned the focus back to God.  He felt the weight of everything and He knew it was hard, but He wanted to do it for us.  He wanted us to succeed. 

Christ felt everything.  He felt, pains, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, and so much more.  He felt sickness, temptations – Satan turned his full force on Christ this night – infirmities.  The last part of the Atonement was what truly was hardest for Christ to bear.  DC 88:106, “The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of the Almighty God.”  Christ went to Hell and faced the isolation and wrath of God, for us.  He did this so that if we repent we can overcome it and we don’t have to face the pain that Christ felt. 

So even though we all have our afflictions and pains and guilt and sadness we can overcome it and be free, if we only repent and put our faith in God. 

We all have our demons and fears deep down inside, and we ALL have them.  We only need to repent and have faith in Christs so we can overcome them all.  He did this for us, so why not use it?
