Listening to Promptings

I have listened and read Elder Scott's talk called To Acquire Spiritual Guidance. I really liked it a lot. It was the first talk of the conference and totally inspiring. It really made me want to practice listening to promptings I recieve and write them down, pray about them and follow through.

I have wondered if thoughts that come to my head are just my own thoughts or if they are the Holy Ghost. One thing Elder Scott said was: "I witness that as you gain experience and success in being guided by the Spirit, your confidence in the impressions you feel can become more certain than your dependence on what you see or hear."

I like that quote. I didn't get to hear any of the conference. But I am going to make that talk the first one I read (I do better reading them).

I need to read that one too. I have gotten really lazy about seeking spiritual guidance.

I can testify to that quote. There have been plenty of times in my life where I knew that the thoughts or feelings that I was having were promptings from the Holy Ghost. I'll make sure to go back and listen to that talk. Thanks Michelle.
