I remember one night a few years ago, shortly after I was excommunicated from the church, this lingering feeling of detachment and disconnection. It was very unpleasant and dark and I recognized it as the withdrawal of the Holy Ghost. From my experience, that was a real part of my process that I wish no one would have to go through but also I hope most will appreciate. Later I had a conversation with one of my closest friends, describing this and I recall telling him, “You don’t know what you have.” I’d like to stress and emphasize the importance of the Holy Ghost in our lives. In a time of chaos happening around the world, uncertainty and where faith seems to be in question, you have been blessed to have a member of the Godhead to “be your constant companion” (D&C 121:46) and whatever concern you have or answers you seek you will know “in your mind and in your heart” (D&C 8:2) “the truth of all things.” (Moroni 10:5) This sacred gift is given to enlighten, guide and comfort you along your path here as you continue to learn, grow and prepare to return home. It is crucial to recognize, understand and listen that you may be able to experience peace through your trials, knowledge in the things you seek and direction in the things you should do. There is nothing else in this world like it, and as you do the best you can it will always be a source of strength, healing and light. “My beloved brothers and sisters, I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation. … Choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly.” - President Russel M. Nelson.
