I really enjoyed President Monson's talk during the Priesthood session of General Conference. He spoke about Choices and our Agency. His talk had a powerful influence on me because of my situation in life. I'm kind of at a cross-roads in my life and I had been pondering about many things for some time before conference started. As I listened to his talk about choices in our lives some of the answers to my prayers came at once. For some of my questions I didn't receive the answer, but rather HOW to receive an answer for myself and HOW to choose.
I think that many times in our lives, if not most of the times, we are left to figure out our own problems. We have all been given the great ability to think for ourselves and grow. Without this necessary struggle of problem solving and self confidence, we would remain weak and unable to act for ourselves. No loving parent would do EVERYTHING for their kids all the time. They would want and even expect their kids to struggle a little in order to become much stronger and wiser. Heavenly Father is the same way. He doesn't just hand us all the answers on a silver platter. Rather, He gives us the tools necessary and tells us to go and work at it.
