"If you have stumbled or even been lost for a time,
if you feel that the adversary now holds you captive,
you can move forward with faith
and not wander to and fro in the world any longer.
There are those who stand ready to guide you back to peace and security.
Even the grace of God, as promised in the scriputres, comes "After all we can do."
The possibility of this, to me is the truth most worth knowing.
I PROMISE that the brilliant morning of forgiveness can come. Then "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" comes into your life once again, something like a sunrise, and you and He "will remember [your ] sin no more." [I repeat..."you and he will remember your sin no more] ( he repeated that last phrase when giving the talk but it is not in the printed version). How will you know? you will know!"

God will help
And we do not need to achieve some minimum level of capacity or goodness before God will help-divine aid can be ours every hour of every day, no matter where we are in the path of obedience. But I know that beyond desiring His help, we must exert ourselves, repent and choose God for Him to be able to act in our lives consistent with justice and moral agency. My plea is simply to take responsibility and go to work so that there is something for God to help us with.”

Face your weaknesses
“...acknowledge and face your weaknesses, but don’t be immobilized by them, because some of them will be your companions until you depart this earth life. No matter what your current status, the very moment you voluntarily choose honest, joyful, daily repentance by striving to simply do and be your very best, the Savior’s Atonement envelops and follows you, as it were, wherever you go. Living in this manner, you can truly, “always retain a remission of sins” every hour of every day, every second of every minute, and thus be fully clean and acceptable before God all the time.”
