Doctrine and Covenants 138:2-4
"2.And reflecting upon the great atoning sacrifice that was made by the Son of God, for the redemption of the world;
3.And the great and wonderful love made manifest by the Father and the Son in the coming of the Redeemer into the world;
4.That through his atonement, and by obedience to the principles of the gospel, mankind might be saved."
This section was given to President Joseph F. Smith in the Salt Lake temple in 1918. I didn't actually copy down the vision part, because I wanted to focus on these few verses that put him in the mindset to receive that revelation. He went to a quiet and reverent place, the temple, and felt the need to just ponder on the wonderful gifts God has given us.
Heavenly Father wants me to receive revelation for my own life, but I need to be in the appropriate mindset to do so. I think pondering upon Jesus Christ as his sacrifice for me is a very reverent mindset to have. Even if I'm not seeking guidance at that particular time, I want to be better at working on pondering what Christ's role in my life is.
