God’s children can take a similar approach when seeking to find answers to spiritual questions.
“Asking questions and searching for meaning is a natural and normal part of the mortal experience.” Heavenly Father’s plan is designed to help people progress despite limitations.
“Fidelity to the knowledge and wisdom we have already inherited through our faithful adherence to gospel principles and sacred covenants is crucial preparation for our readiness to receive and be stewards of communications from the Holy Spirit.”
Some spiritual petitions have reasonable, discernible answers that may not create discomfort. Resisting obedience to God’s commandments may prolong or delay spiritual growth.
