Struggling with the feeling that I’m alone
I understand that Reddit might not be the first place I should go with a struggle like this, but I am curious about whether other people have the same feeling.
I like to think that I have faith in the gospel, the godhead, the plan of salvation, ordinances, priesthood, all of it makes perfect sense to me and I believe that I have a loving Heavenly Father, however, for the past year or so I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that despite all that, I am alone in my trials.
It’s been a particularly hard year in my personal life, and I’ve had a period of seeming silence from God, and I wonder, why not? Aren’t we here to learn and grow? Why shouldn’t I feel alone in my time of need in order to be more self sufficient?
But I feel little comfort in that and it doesn’t sit quite right with me for some reason. It’s not how I was raised to think of God I suppose. I just wish that even if I had to go through everything I’m going through, I would at least have confidence that I would have someone watching over me.
Anyway, just curious if anyone else has ever experienced this flavor of loneliness.
