I believe that God is our loving Heavenly Father.  He has sent us here to this earth to learn many things.  Since our Heavenly Father truly cares about us, he helps us learn, and gives us inspiration about what we should be doing, how we can solve problems, and how to invent or create machines, technology, medicines, music, art, books and every other useful thing in this world.  I believe that the Holy Ghost is an instrument that Heavenly Father uses to inspire us.

I know that I have often been inspired in decisions I have needed to make, as to what to write, how to finish a particular sewing project, or how to help a particular child or friend or neighbor.  

Have you experienced divine inspiration in your life? 

But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.

D&C 9:8
