"Some years ago I remember asking my father-in-law, a seasoned bishop, about a
three-by-five-inch card he always carried in his shirt pocket. His reply was
that at times he felt impressions or promptings. He then liked to pull out that
card and write down those feelings, whenever they came. And then he tried to act
upon them as quickly as possible. It is humbling to consider that the still,
small voice is always there for us, teaching us what to do and where to go. The
Lord tells us that when the promptings are heeded, often more are given. If we
do not follow them, the promptings eventually diminish.
"As a result of being teachable, we gain an even greater testimony of our
Heavenly Father's care for us. We gain the security and certainty that our
course in life is according to His will. (See Joseph Smith, comp.,
'Lectures on Faith' (1985), 38.)
We even have reasons to be good, reasons to be moral, and reasons to change our
behavior. By being teachable, we activate the full force and blessings of the
Atonement in our lives. We become sensitive to the whisperings of the Holy
Spirit so that the righteous principles taught by the prophets and the truths
from the earth can place Christ deeply into our lives. (See
Moses 7:62.) We become His
true disciples." - Robert R. Steuer, "Being
Teachable," Ensign (CR), May 2002, p.31

"We live in
marvelous times, yet also an hour when peace has been taken from the earth.
(See
D&C 1:35.) For
us to prosper in these times, spiritual light must burn within us. How do we
obtain this spiritual light and ensure that the truths of the gospel of Jesus
Christ fill our souls? I would like to suggest three ways: (1) learn true
doctrine, (2) gain pure testimony, and (3) live the gospel courageously."

Power of Light and Truth," General Conference, April 2008
