You really can learn to do anything if you methodically progress step-by-step. A master teacher can pinpoint exactly what your next step is. Being guided in this way is far more efficient and effective than being self-taught. Putting the Lord first in our life is an invitation for him to be our teacher. He knows exactly what our "next step" is and he wants to show us--we just need to come to him with the right mindset.
Ether 12:27
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
