What will a soft reset on an iPhone 5 do?

My messages are messing up (not going through, saying they don't go through but really do, etc.), so I think I need to do a soft reset (holding down sleep and home button) on my iPhone 5. Will this delete my pictures, apps, contacts, and messages, etc?

A soft reset is like doing a Restart on your PC. You will not lose any data and it is a great way to solve most of the minor problems or strange behavior of your iPhone 5. The soft reset just cycles the power and the networks. No data is lost while performing a soft reset.
