Solitude and loneliness can be miserable feelings, and I find this passage to be one of the more heartbreaking ones in the entire Book of Mormon.
Moroni was all alone at this point, having lost everything. At least Paul had Timothy to write to at the end of his life-he could at least hope that Timothy received the letters and was on his way to visit before Paul was executed. Moroni had no one left to write to. He had just suffered such a tremendous lost in his life-his society, his family, his friends-everything. The only thing he had to cling on to was hope that one day the Book of Mormon would be found and restored.
This passage can hit home for many of us-many LDS have felt alone before and our only hope is found in the Book of Mormon.
