O May My Soul Commune with Thee - Monday Night
Today I read where Lehi wondered in a deary wasteland and even though he was following someone and was not alone, he started to feel a great need to pray. He prayed for the Lord's tender mercies. The Lord, of course, heard his prayer and showed him the way. Even when we feel we are following the path the Lord would have us go, we are trudging through this mortal wasteland and need to pray for tender mercies of the Lord.

Today as I continued to study President Eyring's message, I was impressed by how many times President Eyring referred to the heart.
ReplyDelete"We must serve Him to know the Master’s heart. "
I guess the reason Pres. Eyring brings this point up is that the will of the Father is in His mind and is written upon His heart. If we are to know His will for us, then we must know our Father's heart. We come to know that by serving His children.
"But we also must pray that Heavenly Father will answer our prayers in our hearts as well as in our minds."
Our Father gives us the answers that are in His heart to us in our hearts.
"I have had prayers answered. Those answers were most clear when what I wanted was silenced by an overpowering need to know what God wanted. It is then that the answer from a loving Heavenly Father can be spoken to the mind by the still, small voice and can be written on the heart."
How interesting that answers are not as clear when we hold on to our own desires rather than submit our hearts to the will of God.
