"Act in faith, even when unsure if revelation has been received Sometimes individuals may question how to move forward, feel that the heavens are closed or be unsure how to tell the difference between one’s own thoughts and the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, Elder Renlund said. He pointed to the teachings of the late Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve — that when one prays to God, explaining a problem to Him and proposing a thoughtful solution, God’s answer may come in one of three ways: Feeling the peace, comfort and assurance that a decision is right Sensing an unsettled feeling, indicating that the choice is wrong. “When God answers no, … it is to prevent error,” Elder Scott said. Feeling no response. “Elder Scott taught that when that happens, we may ‘want to express thanks’ for it is ‘evidence of His trust’ in us,” Elder Renlund said. “We do the best we can, and clarity will come.”"
