![]() ![]() The Lord knows that unless we keep the commandments and pray daily and read the scriptures, the world and its influences can pull us away from the strait and narrow path and dull our senses to the whisperings of the Spirit. The Lord gives us counsel when He says, “And now I give unto you a commandment to be aware concerning yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life” ( D&C 84:43). When I am not feeling as spiritual or as close to the Lord as I desire, it is usually because I haven’t done the things necessary to receive the promptings and whisperings of the Spirit. This is one reason we may lose contact with the Holy Spirit and lose awareness of His promptings. Many of us get so involved in our day-to-day tasks and worldly pursuits that we do not notice the many small miracles that constantly occur around us. And now, I do not know all things but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will” ( Words of Mormon 1:7). Mormon said, “And I do this for a wise purpose for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. Following promptings has helped me to avoid disaster and temptation, guided me in directions and paths that I should go, and on many occasions, provided me with words and thoughts. Many times I have experienced that “still small voice, which whispereth through and pierceth all things” ( D&C 85:6). I am grateful for having heeded that prompting. A deep feeling of gratitude for the loving protection of my Father in Heaven came over me. Heeding the prompting, I looked left and saw a large semitruck and trailer barreling full speed through the intersection.Īs the reality of the situation sank in, I realized that had I not obeyed, I could have been in a major accident, possibly severely injured or killed. But when the light turned green, I had a strong impression not to move forward. Still anxious and deep in thought, I was focused only on the light and my turn to proceed. As I exited the freeway, I came to a stoplight and signaled to turn left onto another highway. I remember driving on a major freeway once with many concerns on my mind, ready to arrive at my destination. ![]()
