Patriarchal Blessing our modern day Liahona

What was the Liahona? I'm not talking about the church magazine.

From the scriptures we can gather that it was a guide for Lehi and his family.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we had a guide sort of like a blue print in our lives?

Actually we can have access to a guide. It's known as the patriarchal blessing.

You can receive a patriarchal blessing when you feel worthy to get one. I received mine when I was a teenager. I have to be honest. I don't think I truly understood how valuable and sacred this blessing was/is. I don't think I was spiritually prepared to receive mine at the time I did.

I encourage you to prepare yourself. This will be the only way you will truly appreciate it.

Now I do want you to keep in mind that the promises made in this blessing are not guaranteed if you do not do what the Lord asks you to do. You must do your part.

Do you feel like you're spiritually ready to receive your patriarchal blessing?
