I believe personal revelation, the making known of divine truth by communication with the heavens, is not only available to us for the asking but also is constantly and consistently provided us. It is not that we do not receive personal revelation, we do. It is that we often do not listen when it comes.

I experienced a paradigm shift, meaning a change in the way I think (and hopefully behave), recently when studying Doctrine and Covenants Sections 6, 8 and 9. I reread a quotation by Elder Graham Doxey, who admonished LDS Church members, "Stop asking: 'Does God live? Does God love me? Does God speak to me?' The critical question is, 'Are you listening to Him?'" For me the implications of that statement were profound.
