And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.
And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain! (Alma 36: 17-20, The Book of Mormon)
As we keep our heart and mind focused on the good things, there is no room left for the bad. As y'all are enjoying spring and celebrating Easter this upcoming week, take a look at http://www.mormon.org/easter and check out the video (it's only 2 1/2 minutes long).
Love,
