Don't Look For A Life Virtually Free

Some Missionaries Are Giants In The Spirit And Pygmies In Skills In The Spirit. Work Hard To Develop A Balance. Your Leaders, And You, Should Teach The Skills To Each Other.

When We Seek Inspiration To Help Make Decisions, The Lord Gives Gentle Promptings. These Require Us To Think, To Exercise Faith, To Work, To Struggle At Times And To Act. Seldom Does The Whole Answer To A Decisively Important Matter Or Complex Problem Come All At Once. More Often, It Comes A Piece At A Time, Without The End In Sight.

. . . We Will Never Be Prompted By The Holy Ghost To Do Something We Cannot Do. It May Require Extraordinary Effort And Much Time, Patience, Prayer, And Obedience, But We Can Do It.

You Have Times When You Are Extremely Happy, Times Of Testing, And Times Of Trial, But The Lord Guides You Through All Of Those Growth Experiences Together.

It Really Does No Good To Ask Questions That Reflect Opposition To The Will Of God. Rather Ask, What Am I To Do? What Am I To Learn From This Experience? What Am I To Change? Whom Am I To Help? How Can I Remember My Many Blessings In Times Of Trial? Wiling Sacrifice Of Deeply Held Personal Desires In Favor Of The Will Of God Is Very Hard To Do. Yet, When You Pray With Real Conviction, "please Let Me Know Thy Will" And "may Thy Will Be Done," You Are In The Strongest Position To Receive The Maximum Help From Your Loving Father.
