I went on a walk into a beautiful forest today and took the time to say a prayer. It has been a little while since I tried this formally. I stepped off the trail to spend some time thinking and looking around me. I prayed to her sincerely. I know it might seem odd that I did this but I can't get myself to pray to the God I grew up with for many reasons.
Honestly, I'm not sure if God is really there. I have no idea. I came into my prayer with that in mind. I didn't try to force a belief. I started my prayer thinking of how all the amazing things around me have such an enormous history. I let that stir in my mind as a possibility that she is there - somewhere. Then I asked her if she is really there. Once again, I felt something I can't deny. I felt an understanding. Every bit of the fear I had growing up was gone. That God who did those evil things we read about is gone. It was just me and this idea that gave me peace. I know, it is just an idea. But it affected me. I'm still willing to say there is a chance it's confirmation bias and I told her that. She understood and smiled at me.
Then I asked her what was really on my mind. I said, "I know this might seem trivial to you. You have so many things to worry about. But it means a lot to me. Are you married to Heavenly Father?"
She said no.
That is all I can say. To me, it's as simple as that.

I'm a little surprised that you're asking me this. Perhaps you look at my scenario differently than a person who wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true?
