The Book of Mormon's Healing Power

Jenny shares with us her insight and how the Book of Mormon has helped her overcome challenges:

Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with anxiety, OCD, and depression. My days are often filled with overwhelming guilt, the inability to concentrate, and lack of motivation. In times like these, I frequently turn to close friends, family, unhealthy food and sleep to help me through. These things fill the void in my heart for a limited amount of time, but I have learned that a more powerful remedy is the Book of Mormon.

Professor Dumbledore said, "Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.”

The words of the Book of Mormon are more powerful than any others. Magic doesn’t even to begin to describe what happens when consistently read this book. A task so simple, yet ridiculously potent – much like a flick of a magic wand or the whisper of a spell. As I open the pages of this sacred book, I can feel the spirit cutting through my seemingly numb heart to energize and bless me. I needn’t read one verse, and I can already feel the love of Jesus Christ healing my wounds and encouraging me to choose faith.

I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It has healed and strengthened me in critical times of need. It is the truest of all books and brings me closer to God more than any other book. Every verse testifies of Christ. I will cling to it as a wizard clings to his wand.
