Diligence "is to learn what the Lord expects of you, make a plan to do it, act on your plan with diligence, and then share with others how your experience changed you and blessed others."
2. Does diligence simply mean to work harder?
No! As we keep the commandments, do as we're asked, fulfill our callings and/or serve others to the best of our ability, we will be blessed with joy.
3. Where do we start?
- "Ponder deeply and diligently in the scriptures and in the words of living prophets.
- Persist in prayer for the Holy Ghost to reveal to you the nature of God the Father and His Beloved Son.
- Plead that the Spirit will show you what the Lord wants you to do.
- Plan to do it.
- Promise Him to obey.
- Act with determination until you have done what He asked.
- And then pray to give thanks for the opportunity to serve and to know what you might do next."
