General Conference Challenge


General Conference Challenge-HELPING YOU TO FIND THE WAY!



At the start of general conference a few years ago, President Gordon B. Hinckley promised several blessings to those who listen to conference:
“I invite you to listen, listen if you will by the power of the Spirit, to the speakers who will address you today and tomorrow as well as this evening. If you will do so, I do not hesitate to promise that you will be uplifted, your resolution to do what is right will be stronger, you will find solutions to your problems and your needs, and you will be led to thank the Lord for what you have heard”
(“Listen by the Power of the Spirit,” Ensign, Nov. 1996, 4).

Before General Conference starts, I challenge you to write down a problem that you are facing or a gospel question that you have: ________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________

Now I challenge you to make this a matter of prayer. Pray about the question or problem and pray for the prophets and other general authorities. Keep this in your mind as you watch or listen to conference, and really listen!! You can receive an answer either directly from one of the talks, or from inspiration you can receive while watching intently. I know this can make a difference in your life. I will be doing it, too.
