Prepare Your Heart to Receive Instruction

D&C 132:3 The Lord has great things to teach us, but we must prepare our hearts to receive them. One way to prepare is outlined in D&C 78:7, where it says that we prepare ourselves by doing what we are commanded to do. That would include fasting and prayer, pondering, study. We should prepare in this way for General Conference, which is coming up this weekend, in which our Prophet and the twelve apostles will speak inspired words to us. But also we can prepare for our church meetings and prepare ourselves to read the scriptures.
