Living the Principle: Hearken to the Voice of the Spirit
- Pray specifically for the Spirit’s guidance and then write down any impressions that come.
- Before making a decision—big or small—pause to ask, “Will this invite the Spirit or drive it away?” and act accordingly.
- Each evening, review your day and record one moment when you felt enlightened or redirected after choosing to hearken to the voice of the Spirit.
