The Savior can heal infirmities and sicknesses.

He can take away your pain and sorrow.

Article – He Heals the Heavy Laden – Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs, as known to Him who loves us best. Sometimes a “healing” cures our illness or lifts our burden. But sometimes we are “healed” by being given strength or understanding or patience to bear the burdens placed upon us.
