I recognize we are fallen men and women living in a mortal world. And that we might not have the presence of the holy ghost with us every second of every minute of every hour of every day. However, the Holy Ghost can tarry with us much, if not most of the time. And certainly the spirit can be with us more than it is not with us. As we become ever more immersed in the spirit of the Lord, we should strive to recognize impressions when they come and the influences or events that cause us to withdraw ourselves from the Holy Ghost. Taking the Holy Spirit for our guide is possible and is essential for our spiritual growth and survival in an increasingly wicked world. Sometimes as Latter Day Saints we talk and act as though recognizing the influence of the Holy Ghost in our lives is the rare or exceptional event. We should remember however, that the covenant promise is that we may always have his spirit to be with us. This supernal blessing applies to every single member of the church who has been baptized, confirmed, and instructed to receive the Holy Ghost.
