Prayerfully study Doctrine and Covenants 89–92, and record any spiritual impressions you receive. Be sensitive to how “the Spirit [manifests] truth” to you as you study (Doctrine and Covenants 91:4).

In section 76, the Lord expressed how much He wants to reveal truth to us (see verses 7–10).

As you study, look for truths and principles that are profitable for you.
