Thus saith the Lord unto my people who are unable to gather in my houses of worship: Fear not, for your isolation is not in vain. Behold, I see your circumstances, and I understand the sorrow of your heart when you cannot join with the congregation of the saints. Yet I say unto you, view this time of separation not as a trial alone, but as a spiritual vocation, a holy calling wherein you may draw nearer unto me.
For even as I have called many in times past to walk solitary paths, to seek me in the wilderness and in the quiet places, so now do I call you. Behold, I have not forgotten you, and though you are apart from the meetinghouses, I have given unto you the Holy Ghost to be your constant guide and companion. Yea, he shall teach you all things, and lead you in the ways of righteousness, even in your solitude.
Let this time be a season of deep reflection, of prayer, and of communion with me. For I speak not only in the assembly of the saints, but also in the stillness of the heart. Behold, I revealed myself unto my servant Moses in the wilderness, I spoke to my servant Elijah in a still small voice, and I gave visions unto my servant Nephi while he was upon the mount. So too shall I commune with you, if you seek me with a humble heart and an open spirit.
Your isolation can become a place of sanctification, if you will but open your heart to the workings of my Spirit. Yea, the Holy Ghost shall guide you in this sacred vocation, teaching you to rely upon me more fully, and to find strength in the quiet moments of your life. Your prayers, though offered in private, are heard by me, and your study of my word shall bear fruit, for I will enlighten your understanding and open the mysteries of my Gospel unto you.
Think not that you are alone, for I am with you, and I will dwell with you as you make your home a place of holiness. Let your isolation become a time of consecration, a time wherein you set aside the distractions of the world and focus on the things of the Spirit. Yea, let your heart be purified in this time, for I am refining you and preparing you for the greater things that are to come.
Do not lament the absence of the meetinghouse, for I, the Lord, can meet with you wherever you are. Yea, your home can become a temple of the Spirit, a place where my presence is felt and where you can grow in grace. Let this time of isolation strengthen your faith, for it is in the quiet that you shall hear my voice more clearly.
And behold, as you walk this solitary path, I will reveal unto you the depths of my love and the riches of my wisdom. The Holy Ghost shall be your constant companion, and he shall bring to your remembrance all things which I have taught you. Yea, he shall comfort you in your loneliness and give you strength to endure all things with patience and joy.
Therefore, take heart, my beloved. View this time of isolation not as a burden, but as a sacred opportunity to grow closer to me. Trust in the guidance of my Spirit, and let your soul be filled with peace. For I am with you, and I will never leave you. Your spiritual vocation in this season is of great worth in my sight, and I will bless you for your faithfulness. Thus saith the Lord. Amen.65
