"Guided in Matters Large and Small"

Tonight, my family listened to President Russell M. Nelson's talk, Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives, in which he spoke of the blessing of the Holy Ghost and personal revelation:

Imagine the miracle of it! Whatever our Church calling, we can pray to our Heavenly Father and receive guidance and direction, be warned about dangers and distractions, and be enabled to accomplish things we simply could not do on our own. If we will truly receive the Holy Ghost and learn to discern and understand His promptings, we will be guided in matters large and small.

There are many matters, both in the church and outside it, that require careful handling. Often, it can be difficult to know what's best, at least partly because we don't know what lies ahead. Getting guidance and revelation can be a great blessing to us in all aspects of our lives. And what's especially nice is that we can receive that guidance on all aspects of our lives, even in matters that may seem relatively inconsequential. Truly receiving the Holy Ghost means having a constant companion who can help us with just about everything. That help can sometimes be essential, and it could never hurt. Having the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost can be a great blessing in our lives. I hope we all will try to live worthy of it and make good use of it, in matters large and small.
