Quick Thought

~~~Moroni: 10: 4: "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost."

The other day, I was taking a highly-anticipated, extremely nerve-wracking pathophysiology exam. I haven't been that scared to take a test in a really long time. I said a prayer before and many times during the test. I just felt so overwhelmed, and there were times I fretted I would forget what I had studied. 

I carefully read over every single question and asked in my head, What do you think, Heavenly Father? It was a genuine question I asked. My mind and heart were both open to any answer, whatever it was. I was willing and accepting. And then, it hit me. 

I should be asking that question every day, about the bigger, more important things in life. Forget the test. I am such a stubborn person. Often times, when trying to make a decision, I rely on logic instead of God's counsel. I need to start asking His opinion more, but not just that - I need to start relying on His opinion more. In truth, it's not even an opinion. The word 'opinion' suggests it could be right or wrong, but God's opinion is purely, 100%, eternally correct. 

And you know what? I trust Him.
