President Packer:
“The Spirit does not get our attention by shouting or shaking us with a
heavy hand. Rather it whispers. It caresses so gently that if we are preoccupied we many not feel it at all…. “Occasionally it will press just
firmly enough for us to pay heed. But most of the time, if we do not heed the
gentle feeling, the spirit will withdraw and wait until we come seeking and
listening” (“The Candle of the Lord” Ensign, Jan 1983, 53)
