What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

glasses email. Hi Rabbi Goldberg. In the beginning of my Shana Aleph last year, I came in alone and we really struggled the first few months. After Sukkot, I went to the Kotel and cried out to Hashem for I don't even know how long. Asking Hashem to just send me a sign he's with me and that I wasn't alone. After probably taking out every cup I like to think of, I walked away from the Kotel feeling a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. The next day, however, someone made a comment and I immediately broke down. I said, "I'm done. Seriously, Hashem? I literally davened for so long. What else can I do?" 5 minutes later, my mother called. She said she got a package for me at the front door in America. This person's in Israel. I told her it was weird. I hadn't ordered anything. She opened it up and inside was a siddur that literally said, and it had this girl's name, "Hashem loves you." The box didn't say a sender. All it said was her name, "Hashem loves you." So, this girl's feeling alone, struggling, goes to the Kotel, davens her heart heart out, feels a huge weight lifted, someone makes a comment, feels all alone again, and says, "Hashem, I'm done. Where are you? I can't believe it. Why am I going through this?" And a package comes, no idea from whom, that just has her name and the words, "Hashem loves you and you are not nearly as amazed as I am by the story." It's amazing. I took it as a direct sign from Hashem saying it's good it's going to be good. I'm with you. You're not alone. Later, when I when thinking who could have sent it, I realized literally 2 years from that day, I happened to be scrolling on
