If I do not know the will of my Father, and what He requires of me in a certain transaction, if I ask Him to give me wisdom concerning any requirement in my life, or in regard to my own course, or that of my friends, my family, my children, or those that I preside over, and get no answer from Him, and then do the very best that my judgement will teach me, He is bound to own and honor that transaction, and He will do so to all intents and purposes. Brigham Young
About This Quote

When I am asked to solve a problem, my first impulse is to try to solve it without God. But God will not be silent. When I am silent, He speaks. When I am quiet, He speaks.

When I am still, He speaks. When I am still, He fills me with peace and calmness. When I do not act or speak, He acts and speaks through me.

He has spoken through the prophets of old; He has spoken through all men; and He has promised that He will speak through His Son, Jesus Christ (see John 15:8; 16:13; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Philippians 2:5; Hebrews 2:3).
