There have been so many times when I have felt the Holy Ghost testify of truth, comfort during times of sorrow, let me know that everything will be alright, give guidance for protection, put thoughts in my mind on a direction to go or an answer to a question. Often times I am just doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and a good thought pops into my head that I would never have thought of. This thought is an answer to a concern or a question, and when I follow it, my life and the life of others are blessed. Other times it is a warm feeling of peace and enlightenment. My mind is clear instead of confused.
Last night this happened again as I received another answer. I am amazed how often God directs us to do good, but in his way that is so much more effective than ours. I am so grateful for personal revelation in my life.
It is through the Holy Ghost that I know without a doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true and has the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is through the Holy Ghost that I know the Book of Mormon is true, and I am blessed with peace every time I read it. It is through the Holy Ghost that I know Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God who under the direction of Jesus Christ leads and guides Christ's church today. It is through the Holy Ghost that I can know that every principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. The testimony of these things has come line upon line-precept on precept in trying my best to keep the commandments and follow God's laws. Today I am so grateful for personal revelation that brings so much joy to my life every day. I would truly be lost without it.

It's very revealing that you feel peace and joy. There is too little of that in this world.
I am thankful that you are worthy to have the help of the Holy Ghost and to be in tune to his promptings, giving you personal revelation. I remember the first time I felt the Holy Ghost testifying to me and that was when I first visited an LDS Church in 1962 in Corvallis, Oregon. I am thankful for the Holy Ghost's help in my life, everday.
