Experience

Today I had a conversation with a good friend; we were discussing life and how individuals will pray for inspiration, looking for answers to what they should do. I am convinced we can and do receive spiritual promptings from whatever spiritual guidance one believes in. The question is, when we seek guidance and we do what we think is inspired, how come our experience is not always what we thought it would be?

I think the answer is in the question. If we follow our spiritual promptings as closely as possible, they are always the way things are supposed to be. It is not our desire that drives our lives but our Father's desires for us. Sometimes I think it is not the specific circumstances we are to do but the experience of what we do and the results or repercussions that he desires for us.
