I have been asked by our Relief Society presidency to prepare an article for each month's Relief Society newsletter on spiritual preparedness. I thought I might just as well publish those articles here as well. They publish on the first day of the month. This is December's article.
Because of the words of our prophet, I have been looking for everything I can find on how to better receive personal revelation. President Nelson said: "In the coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost."
President
Nelson gave us the step-by-step formula for receiving personal
revelation:
1. Follow the example of
the Prophet Joseph: Find a quiet place where you can regularly
go.
2. Humble yourself
before God.
3. Pour out your heart
to your Heavenly Father.
4. Turn to Him for
answers and for comfort.
5. Pray in the name of
Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses- yes, the very
longings of your heart.
6. And then
listen!
7. Write the thoughts
that come to your mind.
8. Record your feelings
and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take.
