"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart." (D&C 8:2)
The Lord says this when he is explaining to Oliver Cowdery what his gifts are. And what a great gift this is!
Sometimes I have really important questions and I know that I can count on the Lord to answer my questions. Sometimes all I need is to feel peaceful about a decision (which is exactly what happens when the Holy Ghost comes upon you and dwells in your heart). Some of the really important questions I've had to ask were: "Should I go on a mission?" "Should I marry this man?" "When should we have a child?" It is very comforting to know that the Lord cares about these important subjects - he answered my prayers. The Holy Ghost comes and dwells in your heart, giving you a feeling that makes you breathe in deep and feel happy. It is a feeling that you are doing what is right, and you are headed in the right direction. It is a feeling that the Lord is happy with you. Funny enough, this feeling only comes when I am actively seeking it! I usually have to be up-to-date on my scripture reading especially, which seems to be the indicator of my spirituality level.
