“Your feelings may seem to be at odds with a lot of expectations,” the article says. “You may wonder: ‘Why is this happening to me? Does God really love me? Is there a place for me in His kingdom?’”
The article then offers four reminders to those who are struggling:
- God Loves You
- You Belong
- Turn to God—He Will Help You
- You Can Find Peace
