I don't feel alone and unaided at all. But I don't know whether you are referring to anything specific here. To me, we help each other by our interactions, and I am fortunate to have some very good people with whom I can communicate. First, there are my dear Internet friends. Second, I belong to the Ethical Society, which is dedicated to bringing out the best in each of us by such interaction.

Hi
I would find it hard to struggle on if I felt completely alone. I think too that even those who say they 'don't' believe will have found themselves in situations where they have offered up the odd prayer or two, even if they've shut this out of their minds later or refused to see it as a prayer.
Sometimes help and guidance comes through the people who come into our lives just as we need their assistance or advice. I'd like to think our Guardian Angels bring us together.

What help? What guidance? Nobody's ever helped me with anything, whether I prayed for it when I was a kid or whether I stood on the street, as an adult, with nothing but the clothes on my back!
I've had many failures in life that NOBODY came to help me out with when I needed them. No ethereal voice told me to take this path; no cryptic dream told me to pass through that door. No one helped me when I cried and asked the ceiling to end my pain ... one way ... or another. I was alone THEN.
I've also had many successes. I got myself there; by myself; nobody else. I can't be thankful, this Thanksgiving weekend, for anything otherworldly intervening and pointing me in the most auspicious direction. I did it myself with the aid of hand-picked friends I knew I could trust because I met them, liked them, and I knew they liked and trusted me.
If you're inferring I should "accept the help and guidance" of your God or Allah ... I never got it before, so honestly, I don't really know what I'm missing.

I accepted help & guidance according to the cosmic laws.

I am never alone. Perhaps I don't listen as intently as I need to, but that does not indicate aloneness. I guess I could go full speed ahead without consulting my own inner wisdom, but then I would not be using all of my natural resources, would I?

I do not know that my way of ornamenting my model of self and world with myth is true. I think, believe and expect that my way of ornamenting my model of self and world with myth is true because I desire to experience the potential emotional and physiological benefits of doing so. I desire to enjoy the entertainment that I derive from the thought, belief and expectation that my way of ornamenting my model of self and world with myth is true. I do not choose to close my mind by merely concluding I do not know. I choose to open my mind to the possibility that divinely inspired myth may come to me through the divine eternal essence of finite self in continuous spiritual communion with the divine eternal essence of infinite world. I believe that by meditation on what is possible within the realm of mystery, I realize that truth limits myth. I base my truth and knowledge on finite scientifically reproducible discovery. I know what I know based on scientifically reproducible discovery of truth and I do not know what I do not know based on what is possible within the realm of mystery. What is possible within the realm of mystery is that my soul guides my mind towards true myth that best satisfies my need and aspiration to achieve and maintain happiness and good health. There is truth that is within the grasp of my fractal infernal temporal senses and tools and there is truth that is beyond the grasp of my fractal infernal temporal senses and tools. Just because a truth is beyond the grasp of my fractal infernal temporal senses and tools does not mean that it is any less true.

I find my stength & comfort in the fact that I never walk alone. Thanks for a great question.
