If the totality of human suffering and anxiety could be categorized, it might, be broken down as follows: first, suffering caused by sin: second, suffering that flows from innocent transgression of the law; third, suffering related to infirmities, weaknesses, inadequacies, or trials that have nothing to do with sin or transgression; fourth, suffering incidental to our confrontation with the temptations of the world; and fifth, suffering or anxiery necessitated by the exercise of faith. The scriptures are replete with evidence that the Savior did not exempt himself from any of these, but rather faced each of them "square on."
