I was reading a Conference talk from April 2011 on the Atonement. It, like so many other talks before it, stated that there is no sin, pain, or other need that is not covered by the Savior's Atonement. I thought about that for a few moments, played devil's advocate for another few moments on how the Atonement couldn't cover a woman's spiritual and emotional needs b/c He is not a woman, and then had a completely humbling though interceed that of the previous.
I replayed some of the most poignant moments I've had in my life that required the Atonement. Whether I had been repenting or going through the loss of a child or giving birth to another child, I have felt the loving, healing power of the Savior. I have felt his arms enfold me at my weakest moments, and I have been given strength by him every time I have come to him. It does not matter that I am a woman, and that he was a man. He understands me and my needs, and he loves me and wants to help me.
