No father would send his children
Off to a distant dangerous land
Without at first providing them
With some means of protection at hand
Our Heavenly Father has given us
A personal source of protection
A blessed lifeline we can trust
That lights intellect and introspection
As His children we are not left alone
For the things of the spirit are ours to find
His great plan for us is made known
Through what comes to the heart and mind
Unto the seeker as a wondrous gift
That is received through ordinance
The Holy Ghost helps us to choose and sift
While providing comfort and assistance
That by listening to the promptings
Our lives are led and even be saved
That whenever we are struggling
A channel unto God is well paved
May we keep it clean from clutter
That miracles might come faith
But, if not, He still hears each utter
That as we use a delete key there’s a new way
When unworthy thoughts enter the mind
Inspired music can dispel what stations
As through hymns prayerfully sung we find
Therein is power to escape temptation
In every pursuit and task
We can avoid wayward turning
For as we pray to God and ask…
We will feel our bosom burning
Prayer and Promptings
President Boyd K. Packer
October conference 2009
