I love Prophet Russell Nelson's emphasis on Hear Him and how he said it will be more and more important in the coming years. We need to hear God and Jesus through the Holy Ghost to know how to prepare. Then again we especially need to hear Him when bad things happen (sickness, death, famine, war, etc) because He will guide us if we let Him prevail in our lives.
He never promised only good times but He also said He would be there for us. A good example is Corrie Ten Boom (her book is The Hiding Place)- she went through some pretty horrific things trying to survive and help others during WWII. Reading her book, you see the hand of God guiding and helping her through the hard times, helping her help others as well.
I have been guided in my life in big and small ways. Several times lately I've had the thought to send a particular message to some people, and they've usually responded that it was what they needed that day. God works through us to help others if we let Him.
We really need to learn how to hear Him and let Him prevail like Russell Nelson pleads.
