“Perhaps your soul cries out that you are living a survival
story right now as a victim of abuse, neglect, bullying, domestic violence, or
any suffering of this kind. You are in the midst of your own desperate attempt
to survive a situation that feels very much like a disastrous shipwreck or a
promising mission suddenly aborted. Will you ever be rescued; will you make it
through your own survival story? The answer is yes. You can survive. You have
in fact already been rescued; you have already been saved—by the One who has
suffered the very torment you are suffering and endured the very agony you are
enduring.1 Jesus has overcome the abuses of this world to give you power to not
only survive but one day, through Him, to overcome and even conquer—to
completely rise above the pain, the misery, the anguish, and see them replaced
by peace.” – Elder Patrick Kearon
