There are answers if you search. My personal search has led me to find within the words of prophets and scriptures answers that give satisfaction. Beware the heart, some say. I say, follow your heart. Follow your feelings. They are real, they are part of the spiritual process, and God gives these to us. We live by faith, we feel through the darkness... and as Paul said "we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." And so it is.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. Follow Him and follow His servants, the prophets and apostles. See www.lds.org
The Bible is true, the Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and there is a sound way to know all of this for yourself. Watch on...
Ether 8:23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles,...suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work...of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. 24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning. 26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.
