2. Pray Diligently

Focusing our thoughts and concentrating on the Holy Ghost's quiet answers takes mental effort. Maybe that is partly why Enos in the Book of Mormon talked about his prayer as a "wrestle … before God" (Enos 1:2).

When you read, ponder, or pray, find a time and place with as few distractions as possible. Find a position that will help you concentrate. Praying vocally can help focus your thoughts.
