Aligning Our Wills With The Lord's

1. Through the scriptures-we come to know Him and His will through the Spirit.Which speaks to us through the feelings that come to our hearts while reading the scriptures where we are given peace, hope, joy, comfort, strength, and courage. The scriptures are a tool for us because they invite us to come unto Him. Its also a way for us to come to know our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, to apply His atonement into our daily lives.
2. Prayer-to know the will of God we need to live it. Christ is a source of light. The more light we have, the better choices we will be able to make. whatever decision we make directs us toward God or to satan. Satan can only be in our lives if we allow Him to be. We also need to understand our relationship with our Heavenly Father to understand His will, and the ways that He speaks to us. There are 3 ways: 1. Pray 2. Scriptures 3. Other people around us. we also need to have faith, also to wait for His answer, and then act upon it! "For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."(2 Nephi 28:30)  Also the choices of others will affect us whether its positive or negative. Prayer is the passport to peace, the answer of miracle are wrought through prayer. If we have God on our side we cannot fail.
3. Communication- Communication with the Lord in Holy Places- to understand the will of the Lord our homes should be dedicated to holy things. we came here to learn and grow. there needs to be a good atmosphere in our homes. Which applies to temples and our homes as well. we need to make our homes a continually holy place by scripture study, prayer, kind words, cleanliness and a place of order, wholesome literature and media. to have a positive influence in our lives, in our homes. By praying we allow the Lord to come into our lives, to comfort and help us.
