To put it simply, there are hard days. There is no escape from this reality.
Sometimes the days are so hard that we cannot fight it alone. We think that if that one person, whether a lover, best friend, parent, or whoever was there -- everything would be alright. For whatever reason, they cannot be there. They can't be there to hold you as your voice trembles and your body shakes. They cannot be there to confirm that things will be alright.
In essence, you feel all alone.
That was me recently, but I know you have felt that too. I tried to fight this type of emptiness on my own. No matter my efforts, this pain would not leave me alone. I knew what to do, so why wasn't I doing it?
I humbled myself, and got onto my knees. I offered a prayer to my Heavenly Father. As I explained to Him the feelings that plagued my soul, I felt the pressure on my chest lessen. I continued on until I felt a smile stretch across my face.
How could I feel this way when I have so much to be grateful for? How could I allow myself to wait this long to pray to my Father in Heaven to remove this gross feeling from me?
Whatever the reason, it does not matter. What matters is that I turned to the Lord in my time of need, though it may seem small in comparison to a lot of other trials, but is that not beautiful? My small petty problems are, in fact, problems to Him too. The best part is that I have a Saviour who knows how to comfort me in those times and so do you.
Hear me out, dear readers, you are not alone. Look heavenward. There is a Heavenly Father watching over you and He truly knows your situations. You and I have a Saviour who knows every discomforting emotion we feel, and He knows how to heal us.
The trick is to let Him.
"Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he [or she] that asketh, receiveth; and unto him [or her] that knocketh, it shall be opened" (3 Nephi 27:29)
