There are a few that I would like to point out though, the first being from the book of Alma, chapter 7, verses 11 & 12 in the Book of Mormon.  It states, "And he shall go forth suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind, and this that the word might be fulfilled, which saith he will taketh upon himself the pains and the sickness of his people, and he will take upon him death that he may loose the bands of death which binds his people.  And he will take upon himtheir infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities."

I love that one because it clarifies to me that if we will have complete faith and trust in our Lord and Savior, his atoning sacrifice takes from us, not only our sins, but also all of our grief, pain and afflictions, and gives us peace.

The next is found in 3rd Nephi 9:13-14. (Book of Mormon) "will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you? Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life.  Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me."

The Savior is the light and the life of the world, and those who believe on his name will become the sons and daughters of God. Though our faith may be really tested at times, I take great comfort in knowing that His tender mercy and comforting spirit is offered to all of his children, and not just to a select few. All we need to do is just stay faithful and "Endure to the end".

In Ether 12:6 (Book of Mormon) it says, "I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."

And the companion scripture in that same twelfth chapter of Ether verse 27, says,  "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.  I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

Even though we may be called upon at times to be tried and tested, He always promises his healing influence will be ours if we will maintain our faithfulness and our righteousness.

There are many other scriptures which could be sited as well.  They include,
Proverbs 3:5-6
1st John 3:2
Hebrew 1:1-3
Acts 12: 1-19
Luke 24: 36-39
Matthew 25: 31-40
Alma 37:6
Doctrine & Covenants 6:22-23,
Doctrine & Covenants 122.

There are so many.
