"Seeking implies so much more than merely looking. Seek means energy,direction, passion, purpose. To seek requires all our 'heart, might, mind and strength' (D&C 4:2 ). How do we seek with our minds? With our intellect we can ponder, we can analyze our circumstances, we can sort and sift information, weigh our options; we can store ideas, we can draw conclusions from our experiences, find answers to our problems; we can treasure thoughts and receive revelation. Isn't that what the Lord meant when he said, 'You must study it out in your mind' and then ask me if these things are not true? (D&C 9:8)"
