In every thought

This last conference I was listening to the broadcast on my radio.  As I was lying on my bunk I have to admit, I zoned out a little. Then my mind caught hold on a scripture that was "D&C  6:36 "look unto Me in every thought..." it's a scripture I've heard hundreds of times. I had always thought of it as another unattainable commandment all of our thoughts must be perfect and Christ like. But as I heard those words this last Conference the spirit just started teaching me. He was so abrupt, I felt a little like I've been caught sleeping in class, but I grab my notebook and tried to keep up with the stream of thoughts interring my mind.

I was led to the realization that why we should strive to have Christ like thoughts always, this scripture is more about Christ expressing his desire to help us with our thoughts all our thoughts he says "look unto me in every thought."

 So if I'm having Christ like thoughts, thoughts filled with kindness, charity, faith, hope, etc. I am to look to Him with gratitude for He is the source of those thoughts.

 If I am having thoughts that are centered on hate, anger, jealousy, lust, ect. I am to look to Him for aide, because He is the cure for such thoughts.

If my thoughts are the kind designed to keep me in the prison of addiction, I look to Him because He is the key to unlock those chains.

If my thoughts are filled with doubts, fears, and questions that threaten to erode my testimony. I look to Him because He has the answers, and He will be my one sure rock.

So in short when He said, "look unto Me in every thought,,," He is  saying that we don't have to wait until our thoughts our perfect before we turn to him. He want's to help us now, right where we are.
