There are always times when I get stumped over something I should have said, should have done. Today, when I felt stumped with a duty I had at work, I remembered the need I have to recognize Father's hand in my life. So, I quietly asked Father what He would have me do. I waited, paused again and asked Him.
Then quietly He whispered something into my mind with that famous Still Small Voice. I knew it was from Father and proceeded forth with my plans. Then a little later in my day, I was stumped again. I repeated the same thing and nothing came into my mind. I paused and thought perhaps I wasn't asking right. Nothing.
Then I decided I would divorce myself from the situation totally. I went outside and walked a bit. I found a nice shady place, away from people and the sun and sat down. I re-thought out the problem I was having and tried to "feel" or hear the still small voice. It didn't come. Then I decided to change my plan.
I started to think of other things that did not even pertain to what I was trying to do. After about ten minutes, then came the inspiration I was waiting for. Once again it was a quiet whispering to my mind. After I noticed Father touching my mind, answering my inquiry, I felt very humbled and asked forgiveness for my impatience, my short sightedness, and proceeded on what I was doing.
I guess once in a while we have to struggle, we have to rid our mind of the pressure we are feeling, and even once in a while we have to be reading the scriptures and we will get the whispering from the Spirit. At times it comes quickly, and at times it comes slowly, and at times it does not come. Lessons to be learned? In each circumstance or event, I learned a different lesson about inspiration. I am still learning.
