I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.
Christ:
strengtheneth:
excerpt:
"Isaiah taught that the Messiah would bear our “griefs” and our “sorrows” (Isaiah 53:4).
Isaiah also taught of His strengthening us: “Fear thou not; for I am
with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee” (Isaiah 41:10).
Thus, we sing:
Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, …
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.3
Speaking
of some of his own mortal challenges, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).
And
so we see that because of His Atonement, the Savior has the power to
succor—to help—every mortal pain and affliction. Sometimes His power
heals an infirmity, but the scriptures and our experiences teach that
sometimes He succors or helps by giving us the strength or patience to
endure our infirmities.4"
