Elder Matthew L. Carpenter of the Seventy said in October 2018 conference:

“. . . . Our Heavenly Father is all-powerful and all-knowing. He knows our physical struggles. He is aware of our physical pains due to illness, disease, aging, accidents or birth disorders. He is aware of emotional struggles associated with anxiety, loneliness, depression or mental illness. He knows each person who has suffered injustice or has been abused. He knows our weaknesses and the propensities (inclinations) and temptations we struggle with.

During mortality we are tested to see if we will choose good over evil. For those who keep His commandments, they will live with Him “in a state of never-ending happiness.”[ii] To help us in our progression to become like Him, Heavenly Father has given all power and knowledge to His Son, Jesus Christ. There is no physical, emotional or spiritual ailment that Christ cannot heal.[iii]

From the mortal ministry of the Savior, scriptures recount many miraculous events where Jesus Christ used His divine power to heal those who suffered physically. . . . Through His ministry Christ taught that He had power over the the physical body. We cannot control the timing of when Christ’s healing of our physical ailments will occur. Healing occurs according to His will and wisdom. In the scriptures some suffered for decades; others, their entire mortal lives. Mortal infirmities can refine us and deepen our reliance upon God. But when we allow Christ to be involved, He will always strengthen us spiritually so we can have greater capacity to endure our burdens.

Ultimately, we know that every physical aliment, malady, or imperfection will be healed in the Resurrection. That is a gift to all mankind through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.[vi*] [vi**]

Jesus Christ can heal more than just our physical bodies. He can heal our spirits as well. Throughout scripture we learned how Christ helped those whose spirits were weak and made them whole.[vii] As we ponder these experiences, our hope and faith in the Savior’s power to bless our lives increases. Jesus Christ can change our hearts, heal us from the effects of injustice or abuse we may experience, and strengthen our capacity to bear loss and heartache, bringing us peace to help us endure the trial of our lives, healing us emotionally.

. . . . As I have counseled with others seeking to repent, I have marveled that people who were living in sin had difficulty making correct decisions. The Holy Ghost would leave them, and they often struggled to make choices that would bring them closer to God. They would wrestle for months or even years, embarrassed or frightened of the consequences of sin. Often they felt that they could never change or be forgiven. I have heard them share that if their loved ones knew what they had done, they would stop loving them or leave them. When they followed this line of thinking, they resolved to just keep quiet and delay their repentance. They incorrectly felt that it was better not to repent now so they would not further hurt those they loved. In their minds it was better to suffer after this life than go through the repentance process now. Brothers and sisters it is never a good idea to procrastinate your repentance. The adversary often uses fear to prevent us from acting immediately upon our faith in Jesus Christ.

. . . . President Boyd K. Packer stated: “Our spirits are damaged when we make mistakes and commit sins. But unlike the case of our mortal bodies, when the repentance process is complete, no scars remain because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The promise is: ‘Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more’ [ixv]

When we repent “with full purpose of heart,”[xv] “immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about in our lives.[xvi] The Savior will heal us.
