Create an atmosphere for the Spirit. The Spirit must be present.

He [the Lord] will always hear your prayers and will invariably answer them. However, His answers will seldom come while you are on your knees praying, even when you may plead for an immediate response.

Hence, you should find periods of quiet time to recognize when you are being instructed and strengthened.

Simple, consistent good habits lead to a life full of bountiful blessings.
