His compassion

Certain qualities possessed by the Savior draw us to him in times of need and pain and sorrow. He has a perfect knowledge of each of us. He has compassion for us; his empathy is absolute. When we are afflicted, he is afflicted. His love passeth knowledge, and he has all power.  "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth".
Nothing is too hard for him. When he acts in our behalf, the result is always miraculous. Thus, even though His personal miracles were confined to a small place and a short time, their messages reach across the ages to us. And the promise come with those messages. He will do for us what he did for them, and for the same reasons: because of His compassion; to build and confirm faith; and to teach us spiritual realities.
Ted L. Gibbson

"… After we do all we can do, His compassion and grace are the means whereby 'in process of time' we overcome the world through the enabling power of the Atonement.  As we humbly seek this precious gift, 'weak things become strong unto us,' and by His strength, we are made able to do that which we could never do alone."   
Craig A. Cardon

"God knows the feelings in every human heart. He can soften sorrow and lead when there seems to be no light. Prayer can give guidance and confidence. It reminds us that no one need be alone in this world. If all else fails, remember: God and one other person can be a family."
