Learning

Sheri Dew

1. Asking questions and not finding the answer, "They are an invitation for you to grow spiritually."
2. These questions, "propel us to engage in a spiritual wrestle so that the Lord can lead us along."
3. As you cultivate these spiritual habits by wrestling with the Lord, there are two questions that will help open the heavens. 
First, ask the Lord to teach you what it feels and sounds like for you when He is speaking to you via the Holy Ghost, and then watch how He tutors you. 
And, second, if you've never asked the Lord how He feels about you, that is a great question to ask. In time, He will tell you, and as He does, you'll learn more about speaking His language.
