To loosely borrow an idea from Stephen R. Covey, if all the air was suddenly sucked out of the room you are currently in would you keep reading this blog post? Of course not.
When we have an intense need we tend to focus on it keenly with the intent of fulfilling the need. If we need air we will focus completely on getting it.
Many of our needs are not so urgent and intense but they are real and necessary. We might need a friend, help with a decision, information, courage, strength, or nourishment.
Lehi had a need to understand how to prevent his city from being invaded and destroyed so "as he went forth he prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his heart..." and he was given the answer.
What do you need, and how will you get it?
