I guess when he said the following, he was not yet sustained as a member of the first presidency, but these are comments that he said at our stake conference about a month ago.
He said that he woke up at 4 in the morning and was inspired as to what to speak about with our stake. He felt that we need to pray to God more directly. That we should pray and ask God what he would have us do. He gave us 8 points to follow as a process.
1. Decide something before you pray. Be committed to what God will tell you to do.
2. Thy will be done and I will do it.
3. Be prepared for Him to ask difficult things of you.
4. Has to be with a spirit of sacrifice.
5. Pray like a child. Be willing to submit your will to the Father.
6. Have a repentant heart. There is always something we can do better.
7. Gotta have hope, be optimistic. If you move forward, God will magnify.
8. God has to know that you love him. Charity.
He followed up with the idea that we should not be as Jonah, who prayed to know what to do, but then hid himself rather than follow the Lord's will.
