"I have a little book that I carry with me, where I record the
inspiration and thoughts that I receive from the Spirit. It does not
look like much, and it becomes worn out and needs to be replaced from
time to time. As thoughts come to my mind, I write them down and then I
try to do them. I have found that many times, as I have done something
on my list, my action was the answer to someone's prayer. There have
also been those times that I didn't do something on my list, and I have
found out later that there was someone I could have helped, but I
didn't. When we receive promptings regarding God's children, if we write
down the thoughts and inspiration we receive and then obey it, God's
confidence in us increases and we are given more opportunities to be
instruments in His hands." - Don R. Clarke, "Becoming
Instruments in the Hands of God," Ensign, November 2006

The missionary experiences of the sons of Mosiah also help us understand
how to become instruments in God’s hands. “And it came to pass that they
journeyed many days in the wilderness” (Alma
17:9). We must be willing to journey. The sons of Mosiah were
willing to step outside their surroundings and do that which was
uncomfortable. Had Ammon not been willing to journey into a foreign
land, inhabited by a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people, he
never would have found and helped Lamoni and his father, and many
Lamanites may have never learned about Jesus Christ. God has asked us to
journey, go on missions, accept callings, invite someone to church, or
help someone in need. - Don R. Clarke, "Being
Instruments in the Hands of God," Ensign (CR) November 2006

As we humbly come to
sacrament meeting, we can be blessed to feel impressions for solutions
to our daily problems. We must come prepared, be willing to listen,
and not be distracted. In the scriptures we read, “But, behold, I say
unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask
me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom
shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.” We
can know what we should do to solve our problems. - Don R.
Clarke, "Blessings
of the Sacrament," Ensign (CR) November 2012
