As missionaries we are able to have scripture study time every morning for an hour with our companion though we go out and teach the people with. From our discussion today I was able to look deep into the depths of my soul and analyze my biggest struggles. I've realized that no matter how hard we try to run away and hide from our weaknesses they will always come back to bite us. The only solution is to take it head on. We defeat our weaknesses by seeking guidence through someone who has all knowledge. His name is not google or ask but His name is God. Our Heavenly Father is ready for us to ask Him questions. He has provided a way that we still grow and are able to keep our freedom of agency. We must study the words of those that have communicated openly with our Father and Jesus Christ. As we study, analyze our lives, make decions and connections, and then pray for confirmation, I know that God will be able to freely speak with us. We will be able to grow as we first pray to God explaining our desires, then we put forth faith in studying the word of God, the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and then we write down our inspirations and pondered thoughts. We make a educated decision and then pray for God's confirmation afterwards so that we might trust in His wisdom and not our own. God is real and I can promise if you put this method into effect the Lord will become very, very real to you also.
Can I get an Amen?

Personal revelation is essential for salvation. Meaning, in order for us to progress and return to our Father in Heaven we must know of his will. The only way we can know of his will is by asking him questions. I know that God loves each one of us, he is aware of everything that we go through, he is in the smallest detail of our lives!
