Mosiah 4-6: pt 1

Chapter 4 verse 2: And they had aviewed themselves in their own bcarnal state, even cless than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying: O have mercy, and apply the datoning blood of Christ that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts may be epurified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who fcreated heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among the children of men.

Occasionally I see myself in that state, and it can be discouraging. I take comfort in knowing that others have felt that way, and especially in knowing that when I cry out to Heavenly Father to have mercy on me and to apply the atoning blood of Christ so I can receive forgiveness of my sins, that it will be done. I have often felt forgiveness for sin. I know of God's goodness and mercy, and I know of the power of the atonement.
