If you have ever been deer hunting you know that it takes a lot of preparation. You have to first buy your tags, then site in your guns, then get all the clothes you need, then find out where you are going, then actually get there and work hard to find the game. It's something that takes a lot of thought and determination. Once you have done all those things it starts getting easier and you get more and more excited for what's next, shooting the deer! Its exciting to be hiking and find where the deer are at. You get your gun all ready and set yourself in a good position to have the best shot possible. As you draw up your gun, throw off the safety and have the deer in your sights all you have to do is pull the trigger.
There you are. You've met your goal and its a wonderful feeling. Getting a deer is always so exciting and you can't wait to do it again.
Deer hunting is a lot like finding for yourself if the Book of Mormon is true. It takes constant reading and preparation. You have to have the materials you need and the determination that is necessary. After you have put a lot of thought into it and have the excitement and desire to seek out the truth then you pray.
"And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost" (Moroni 10:4).
This scripture promises us that when we read and prepare ourselves that if we want to know the truth that all we have to do is ask, and we will receive our answer. Once we have done the things we need to do and we have the truth in our sights, it is easy to shoot.
We are all hunting for Truth and I know that if we do our part that God will answer our prayers. We all want the big ones and if we follow God's council we are guaranteed to come off conqueror.
