Remember this great talk by Elder Rasband?
Fourth, we must act on the first prompting.
Remember the words of Nephi. “I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless,” he said, “I went forth.”16
And so must we. We must be confident in our first promptings. Sometimes we rationalize; we wonder if we are feeling a spiritual impression or if it is just our own thoughts. When we begin to second-guess, even third-guess, our feelings—and we all have—we are dismissing the Spirit; we are questioning divine counsel. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that if you will listen to the first promptings, you will get it right nine times out of ten.17
Now a caution: don’t expect fireworks because you responded to the Holy Ghost. Remember, you are about the work of the still, small voice. Let's practice this every day this week!!! When we "feel" a certain feeling prompting us to do good, or think a quick quiet thought prompting us to reach out, lift up, or speak with someone.....let's make a goal and a plan on how we can be ready to respond to and to act on that prompting from the still small voice of our heavenly guide...the Holy Ghost. Then let's be accountable every night to Father in Heaven by reporting back on how we've done. He will help us to learn this principle, and when we do learn it, our lives will be blessed and our work will change!!!! We love you!!!
