We met with a recent convert who told us her husband was introduced to pornography in Afghanistan and that she had discovered some things recently that had broken her heart. I bore witness that if she would turn to God in her grief, He would manifest Himself unto her. She sent this text after we left:
I did what you said. I closed my eyes, opened the [scriptures] and pressed my finger to the page and this is what is landed on: D&C 29:5 "lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and am your advocate with the father and it is his good will to give you the kingdom. And, as it is written whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive."
I commented that Christ paid a tremendous price to be able to succor us (which means to help us in a way that actually brings relief). She acknowledged that the scripture had actually brought her more peace.
