Facing Challenges "Alone"

Challenges are challenging, especially when we have to face them alone. I know someone who's going through some challenges without the availability of help, and I feel bad for them and wish there was something I could do to help them. Challenges are almost always harder to overcome alone, and they're almost always easier to face with help.

I suppose that's one of the comforting things about the Gospel. We always have access to divine help. We can sometimes gain divine assistance, and at the very least, we can always have the comforting companionship of the Holy Spirit. Even without divine aid, having the Holy Ghost with us can give us the strength to face our challenges with the knowledge that we're not actually alone, even when we seem to be.

We all have to face challenges. Sometimes, we can get help, and sometimes, we can't. Facing challenges alone is harder, but fortunately, through the blessing of the Spirit, we never have to truly face our challenges alone.
