I would encourage you [youth] to receive a patriarchal blessing. Study it carefully and regard it as personal scripture to you—for that is what it is. A patriarchal blessing is the inspired and prophetic statement of your life’s mission together with blessings, cautions, and admonitions as the patriarch may be prompted to give…Receive your patriarchal blessing under the influence of fasting and prayer, and then read it regularly that you may know God’s will for you.
Ezra Taft Benson (Ensign, May 1986, p.43)
Blessed are ye because of your faith.

Have you ever questioned whether you are really receiving inspiration from God or if it’s just your own thoughts?
This message has been important to me this week. Elder Bednar also gave a talk at BYU-I in 1999 about recognizing the Holy Ghost. Read it.

“I learned that anyone, anywhere, could read in the Book of Mormon and receive inspiration. Some insights came after reading a second, even a third time and seemed to be ‘likened’ to what I faced
in everyday life.” Boyd K Packer

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
2 Timothy 3:16

“The Holy Ghost communicates with the spirit through the mind more than through the physical senses. This guidance comes as thoughts, as feelings, through impressions and promptings. It is not always easy to describe inspiration. The scriptures teach us that we may ‘feel’ the words of spiritual communication more than hear them, and see with spiritual rather than with mortal eyes (see 1 Nephi 17:45)”
