Yesterday I made the conscious decision to not wake up early and study a General Conference address. My rationale for doing so was based on how tired I was, how ill I felt, and how late I had gone to bed.
It did not take long before the effects of not placing the Lord first in my life became apparent. My day was very noticeably more difficult to handle. Both the external and internal opposition had greater power over me. I found myself falling into the sin of having unkind feelings toward a rude and slandering coworker. I was eventually able to overcome through prayer and the atonement as I found those unkind feelings giving way to compassion and forgiveness. I am convinced this struggle would not have taken place at all, had I invoked the blessings of God upon me by conducting a proper morning devotional.
Today I felt much the same as yesterday about getting up, but, as I lay in bed contemplating what happened yesterday, I prayed for the strength to get up and do the right thing. Before I even finished my little prayer, I felt empowered to do as I had asked. We need to do all within our power to be worthy and willing to follow our conscience, the Light of Christ, in all things and seek out the continuous guidance of the Holy Ghost and obtain the personal revelation President Eyering spoke up in his Conference talk Continuing Revelation.
