Set aside those things that don't really matter and do something with eternal consequences.

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

Choosing to do what the Lord has defined as right will, in the long run, always lead to the best outcomes.

Spirituality yields two fruits. The first in inspiration to know what to do. The second is power, or the capacity to do it. These two capacities come together. That's why Nephi could say, 'I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded' (1 Nephi 3:7). He knew the spiritual laws upon which inspiration and power are based. Yes, God answers prayer and gives us spiritual direction when we live obediently and exercise the required faith in Him.

Can you hang in there with your investigators when things get going tough? Don't give up on investigators because they have a little weakness. Work with them until the Holy Ghost tells you not to.

It really does no good to ask questions that reflect opposition to the will of God. Rather ask, What am I to do?

Since the Lord will not force you to learn, you must exercise your agency to authorize the Spirit to teach you.
