how to live in the world

There were so many inspirational ideas that stood out to me in the Prophet's General Conference talk.

1. When we follow the Savior, live according to inspiration from the Spirit, and keep the commandments, joy and peace will be part of our lives.

2. The Holy Ghost cannot be with us during sinful or worldly activities.

3. To be in the world but not of the world, we need to pray. Heavenly Father wants us to pray so He can answer our prayers.

4. The world is a sinful place since the worldwide moral revolution of the 1960s. We don't need to fall into despair about it. Instead, living the moral teachings in gospel of Jesus Christ and being guided by our conscious will allow us to live in the world safely. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and the laws of God, the Ten Commandments remain constant. "...there is nothing which can bring more joy into our lives or more peace to our souls than the Spirit which can come to us as we follow the Savior and keep the commandments.” We ought to memorize the ten commandments found in Exodus and the beatitudes found in Matthew plus we should study the scriptures and words of modern prophets.

5. This joy and peace doesn't mean a life free from difficulty or disappointment, we will have trials. But those trials can be endured with joy and peace, while prayer will help us have the desire and courage live according to inspiration and God's will for our lives. The more we pray the less we will suffer with our trials.
