When Revelation Is Not Received

Be patient. 
(Even Prophets wait faithfully on the Lord.)

Increase efforts to be more spiritually in tune.
(Too much distraction, noise, anger, etc.)

Increase study and prayer. 
(Even the Savior prayed more earnestly.)

More faithful in obeying commandments.

Set the matter aside.
(Inspiration often comes when our minds are not consumed with the matter.)

We may be seeking counsel on matters that we should determine for ourselves, using our own best judgment based on study and reason.

We may have received an answer but didn’t want the answer we received. 
(Joseph Smith - Lost Manuscript)
