In tune

Helaman 9

When I started taking medication for depression, I felt like the life got sucked out of me. I couldn't concentrate anymore, I was always agitated, couldn't focus in church meetings, didn't want to sit down to read my scriptures because I wouldn't be able to focus on them. I felt completely out of tune.

And then, I went off the meds.
Slowly I started to "feel" again.
Soon I started noticing things.
I felt like I was coming out of a deep, dark, hole.

That experience really made me think about revelation.
Revelation the prophets receive, revelation I receive.

My experience with medication took me totally away from reality.
I stopped hearing the still small voice. I stopped trying.
Pretty soon I stopped everything altogether. And felt the Spirit leave as well.

I just want to say how grateful I am that Heavenly Father helps us get back "in tune".
Listening in church is so much easier, reading the scriptures is so much better.

Here in this chapter, Nephi's words converted people. People who were in prison were even converted . Just makes me grateful that even the hardest of hearts can change...

...even the rustiest of rustiests can be reconverted and put back in tune with God to receive personal revelation.

So grateful for that.
