"search diligently in the light of Christ that ye man know good from evil;" (Moroni 7:19)
It shows us that we have to work for answers, in other words, do our part to search, recognize, and receive the answers of our hearts.
"all things which are good cometh of Christ;" (Moroni 7:24) it is important to recognize our feelings and realize that if we don't feel good about something it's not coming from Christ and we need to seek out the reason why and what we can do in order to fully understand what we need to change or improve on in our lives.
vs 26 "as surely as Christ liveth"--> vs 31 "bear testimony of him." -Colo 3:17
"whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you." (Mornoni 7:26)
Believing stuck out to me in this scripture probably because a lot of things are easy to believe in as long as you see them happening in life, but when you don't know if you'll ever get them or achieve something it's hard to believe.
Believe-To expect or hope with confidence; to trust.
I love that "to trust". I need to work on trusting in my Father in Heaven more and to have more confidence in his plan and what He  has in store for me.
"it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men;" (Moroni 7:37)
It is so important to be continually working on our faith and strengthening it with every trial and experience we go through.
(Moroni 7:40) How is it that ye can attain faith, save ye shall have hope?" We can't have faith if we don't have hope first in the things of life, in God's plan for us or in ourselves that we can achieve and accomplish everything that God has for us to do in this life.
"without faith there cannot be any hope." vs 42
Blessing: I am thankful for the temple close by that I was able to go to this morning and feel of the peace and comfort it bring to me.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
