Kicking Against the Pricks

I never thought that I was kicking against the pricks – especially spiritually. I have always tried to be dedicated to the gospel and the church. I have tried to be faithful in my callings and in my family, but I now know what Saul felt when the Savior said to him:

“It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” (Acts 9: 5)

I don’t yet know what it is but there is some lesson that the Lord desires me to learn, something that He wants me to be, some trait He wants me to acquire which I have not yet accepted. Like Saul I do not know what is next in store for me but if I will “go into the city” I know that “it shall be told {me} what {I} must do” although I may have to spend some time in blindness and fasting before the answers are given. The real question is whether I will have to do some work myself or whether I will simply have to endure and prepare for answers to be given by someone else.
