No One Knows

 This beautiful artist puts into words and music the suffering that many experience each day in a song released last week.


My heart hurts for her, and for those I care about who face mental health struggles. 


It’s a piece that touches me personally, and one that I feel the prompting to share.  


I love the powerful testimony in these lyrics, 

“It's hard makin' sense of this suffering

When I feel like no one knows

What I go through

But no one knows suffering better than You”.


For most mortals there will likely be at least a season of intense pain and suffering, and for some it will plague them throughout their time on earth.


We all have moments where this falsehood feels so incredibly true and demoralizing.


No one knows.  No one understands. 


But in reality, there is one who does indeed know each tear and sorrow and has promised to stay with us.  


“There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first. In a moment of weakness we may cry out, “No one knows what it is like. No one understands.” But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He has felt and borne our individual burdens. And because of His infinite and eternal sacrifice (see  Alma 34:14 He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy. He can reach out, touch, succor, heal, and strengthen us to be more than we could ever be and help us to do that which we could never do relying only upon our own power. Indeed, His yoke is easy and His burden is light.” -David A Bednar


Perhaps knowing that someone else has also been through a parallel, if not identical journey can bring you a bit of comfort tonight.  


You are NEVER alone.
