In this post, I want to share the three main things that have helped me #HearHim, or in other words, receive personal guidance and revelation from my Creator. President Nelson said, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” (see Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives).
Three main things have made a huge difference in how often and how clearly I hear the Lord. I recently shared these in a YouTube video I made for parents of kids with dyslexia.
Three Things That Help Me #HearHim
In the video I talk about — 1. Having a quiet time each morning to pray, study scriptures, plan, exercise, and shower. 2. Filling my life with light through positive media, choices, commandments, and repentance. And, 3. Practicing Christian Mindfulness (see Christian Meditation and Mindfulness, How to Practice Christian Meditations, and Christian Mindfulness: Carrying the Meditation With You). I started doing these things about 7 years ago and they have dramatically increased my peace and my ability to #HearHim.
We Need To #HearHim
It is such a blessing to have the gift of the Holy Ghost and to be able to be in constant communion with our Father. Remember, you can search #HearHim to see how others (including the leaders of the Church) connect with God and get personal revelation. And our church leaders have encouraged all of us to share what helps us to #HearHim. This is important in a world where people are searching for answers and searching for happiness.
I will conclude with something President Nelson in March 2020 General Conference. “Daily immersion in the word of God is crucial for spiritual survival, especially in these days of increasing upheaval. As we feast on the words of Christ daily, the words of Christ will tell us how to respond to difficulties we never thought we would face.” Thanks for reading this short post!
