President Dieter F. Uchtdorf has counseled us:

"As you prepare for general conference, I invite you to ponder questions you need to have answered. For example, you might yearn for direction and guidance by the Lord regarding challenges you are facing.

Answers to your specific prayers may come directly from a particular talk or from a specific phrase. At other times answers may come in a seemingly unrelated word, phrase, or song. A heart filled with gratitude for the blessings of life and an earnest desire to hear and follow the words of counsel will prepare the way for personal revelation."

I have heard council similar to this many times from Sunday school and Relief Society teachers, bishopric members and general authorities, that we ought to come to General Conference with a prayer in our heart and a question or problem for which we need  an answer or guidance.  This weekend was our stake conference and I took the opportunity to go with a very specific question that I've been struggling to find the answer to. 
 
When I heard the topic for the Saturday night session, I wondered to myself, "How will I ever receive the answer I need when the focus is on this particular topic?"  I listened carefully through the meeting with a prayer in my heart that somehow I would get the answer I needed.  I enjoyed every talk but in the last five minutes of the very last talk, I knew that what I was hearing was part of the answer I had been seeking.  During the Sunday morning session, I went hoping to receive more inspiration and answers.  In a talk that was not even listed on the program I found what I needed.  The Lord was mindful of me this weekend and I feel invigorated and renewed to tackle the challenges I face.  My testimony of personal revelation has also been strengthened and I am inspired to more quickly include the Lord in my day to day activities as a wife and mother.
