All Things

I stumbled out of bed and into some business casual attire, ate breakfast and then braved the chilly pre-dawn air outside to trek out to my car, parked on the far side of my apartment complex because there are never any spots left near my building by the time I come home at night.
Sitting for a minute or two to allow my car to warm-up, I felt like saying a sincere little prayer to Heavenly Father, just to say good morning, thanks for this great job, please help me to stay awake at work....I also asked that I might receive confidence that I was pursuing the right path in life and that I was following the spirit.
I grabbed the gear stick and tried to shift into reverse, but the mechanism was locked. The button wouldn't depress.
I pressed on the brakes, turned the steering wheel around, pulled the emergency brake--nothing. I hit the gear shift stick with my fist, pushed the button reeeeaaally hard--nothing.
I immediately thought to pray for help, which I did, outloud, quickly--nothing.
So then I stopped struggling with the stick and settled down, I prayed (at first a little too impatiently and demanding) and the thought entered my mind, "You wanted to know that you are living correctly, that you are able to receive guidance from the Holy Ghost. Use it now."
So I tried to focus on the Spirit. I calmed down. I almost fell asleep for a second there while I was meditating! I knew that the Spirit could teach me all things, that God knew how to unlock my gear shifter, and that the Holy Ghost could guide me to the answer.
And very clearly, I felt the spirit suggest I look in the owner's manual.
I did. I found step-by-step directions to reach under the consol and manually unlatch the lock on the shifting stick. I also felt prompted that I should ask a certain co-worker about the issue once I arrived at work; he offered a great solution that will lead me to do some important, preventative tasks regarding my car's health.
And one small miracle to start the day off confirmed, as an answer to my prayer, that I am able to be lead by the spirit.
1. Had to be willing and humble, believing I would receive guidance
2. Had to be still and quiet, and act
3. Had to be confident in my worthiness (not my perfection, but my heart and actions have been in the right place)

2 Nephi 32:3
"...by the power of the Holy Ghost...behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."
