President Ezra Taft Benson, Chapter 12: Seek the Spirit in All You Do

Sisters,

This week in Relief Society, we will be discussing Chapter 12 in the Ezra Taft Benson manual, "Seek the Spirit in All You Do".

There is so much wisdom and doctrine for us to discuss on Sunday, but I love President Benson's counsel to mission presidents, and I think this can apply to each of us in our own spheres:

"I have said so many times to my brethren that the Spirit is the most important single element in this work. With the Spirit and magnifying your call, you can do miracles for the Lord in the mission field. Without the Spirit you will never succeed regardless of your talent and ability. ... Your greatest help will come from the Lord Himself as you supplicate and plead with him in humble prayer. As you are driven to your knees again and again, asking Him for divine help in administering your mission, you will feel the Spirit, you will get your answer from above, your mission will prosper spiritually because of your dependence and your reliance on Him."

As you study this lesson, please pray that each of us will have the constant companionship of Spirit, especially as we discuss these things during Relief Society on Sunday, so that as we learn and share and testify, we will receive the inspiration the Lord has for us!
