What If I Feel like I’ve Made Too Many Mistakes?

There was a time in my life that I felt ashamed and guilty. I thought Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ were not going to forgive my mistakes or the many times I had failed Them. I felt like I couldn’t be forgiven. But kneeling and saying a prayer helped me feel the Holy Spirit.

Looking unto Christ helps me because I know I will always have someone who listens to me and who will support me to make the best decisions.

I can help others look unto Christ by sharing my testimony, which is this: Even when we sin and make mistakes, the Savior will always be there for us to help us sincerely repent and will not condemn us.
