If I am trying to repent of trying to overcome anger and have not over come at death, is this where Christ intercedes for me?

Eathyl,
Absolutely. The fact is we all will fall short of perfection, and the atonement is in place expressly for this fact. What is required of us is that we try with every effort to overcome our sins and weaknesses. This is why the Book of Mormon teaches us that we are very much saved by the grace of Christ, but only ‘after all we can do.’
We must give full and sincere effort to better ourselves every day in order to maximize our Savior’s great atoning sacrifice. The great news is that this need is precisely why Jesus offered himself up as a sacrifice for sin. He knew it would be the only way, and he fulfilled his duty deliberately, full of love for us all.
