“When I say ‘study,’ I mean something more
than reading. … I see you sometimes reading a few verses, stopping to ponder
them, carefully reading the verses again, and as you think about what they
mean, praying for understanding, asking questions in your mind, waiting for
spiritual impressions, and writing down the impressions and insights that come
so you can remember and learn more. Studying in this way, you may not read a
lot of chapters or verses in a half hour, but you will be giving place in your
heart for the word of God, and He will be speaking to you” (Elder
Christofferson “When
Thou Art Converted,”
Ensign or Liahona,
May 2004, 11).
