Ether 6:12

And they did land upon the shore of the promised land. And when they had set their feet upon the shores of the promised land they bowed themselves down upon the face of the land, and did humble themselves before the Lord, and did shed tears of joy before the Lord, because of the multitude of his tender mercies over them.

I love that prayer was their first response. I think our first response says something about our hearts. 

What’s our first response when we wake up in the morning?

What’s our first response when we receive a paycheck?

What’s our first response when we are asked to serve?

What’s our first response when we face a trial? 

What’s our first response when someone does something to offend us? 

In some things, I’m happy with my first response. In others, I’m not. I have some work to do so that my first response is one the Savior can be pleased with. 

Sometimes the best first response is hard. But I know when I align my first response with the Savior, I’m happier.
