Lifting Burdens: The Atonement of Jesus Christ

Too Many Burdens
by Ellen Bailey

You may sometimes feel your burdens are too much
That they cause you worries, heartaches, and such
You go to bed each night with problems on your mind
Hoping by the break-of-day some relief you'll find
Everyone's life is touched by trials and tribulations
That sometime leads to a life of quite desperation
A kind of doom and gloom permeates the soul
So much so that you put our life on hold
But God never gives us more than we can bare
Don't be afraid to call on Him in your darkness hour
Place your trust in Him and your troubles He will hear
He will help lift your spirits and calm your fears


I have been blessed to know that the trails that I face in this life can be overcome only through Jesus Christ. Only through Jesus Christ I can bare my heart aches, sorrows, pains, and hardships. And when I rely on Him by putting my trust in Him, He will lift my burdens off my shoulder. Elder Dallin H. Oaks says, "The healing power of the Lord Jesus Christ … is available for every affliction in mortality." I love the Savior and I am grateful for His atonement.
