16. The Healing Words

While I am panicking and slipping downhill with Scott, I read these words aloud in the ICU room where Scott is laying asleep with his mask on. In the midst of this agony, I feel lucky that I have one more tool to help me fight this battle. This tool are the words of the prophets that spoke with such clarity and profoundness to me personally and to all human beings. These healing words might not be a magic spell that can save one from physical death, but they can rescue our souls from dying. They certainly did so for me.

 Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them.


Ether 12:18 And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God.


3 Nephi 21:10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be a marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that ^bmy wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.


 Psalms 27:14 ^aWait on the Lord: be of good ^bcourage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: ^cwait, I say, on the Lord.


 Doctrine and Covenants 58:4 For after much ^atribulation come the ^bblessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be ^ccrowned with much ^dglory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.


Psalms 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart ^atrusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

 Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my ^ashepherd; I shall not ^bwant.

 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he ^aleadeth me beside the still waters.

 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of^arighteousness for his ^bname’s sake.

 4 Yea, though I ^awalk through the ^bvalley of the ^cshadow of^ddeath, I will fear no ^eevil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they ^fcomfort me.

 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou ^aanointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 6 Surely ^agoodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I LOVE the Scriptures. They are the best medicine!
