Reaching for the Savior Quotes

“My friend Naomi described [depression and anxiety] this way: "Since my early childhood, I have faced a constant battle with feelings of hopelessness, darkness, loneliness, and fear and the sense that I am broken or defective. I did everything to hide my pain and to never give the impression that I was anything but thriving and strong.”
― Reyna I. Aburto, Reaching for the Savior

“My friend Naomi has also found solace for her soul. She shared the following with me: "The healing balm of my Savior's Atonement has been the most constant source of peace and refuge throughout my journey. When I feel alone in my struggle, I am reminded that He has already experienced exactly what I am going through on my behalf. . . . There is so much hope in knowing that my future perfected, resurrected body will not be plagued by this mortal [affliction].”
