Everyone would love to have personal revelation. You might even have experienced it yourself. Direct guidance from god. A personal spiritual channel between you and your heavenly father. It could be as simple as a prompting or as powerful as a physical voice.
I'm at a point in my life where I'm seeking for this personal revelation. I'm making major decisions right now that will have a huge effect on the rest of my life. I've realized that all I've been doing is asking, however. Everything comes with a sacrifice of some kind, and that applies to personal revelation as well. I realize that I need to sacrifice some of my time to go the extra mile spiritually. I need to spend more time on my knees and less time in my office chair on my computer, unless of course I'm looking up videos on Mormon.org. ;)
1st Corinthians 2: 14 states, "But the natural man recieveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." If I'm not nourishing the spiritual side of myself then I'm not going to be getting personal revelation. Period. It's time I stopped relying on textbooks and even mormon literature to find revelation. It's time I gave up some time, fell on my knees, and offered more sincere prayers. I must become a spiritual man.
Good luck in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. The road will often seem hard that we are called to trek, but if we rely on Christ anything is possible.

Haven't you heard that quote by some apostle? Get off your knees and go to work (after praying of course). It's not about how long you're on your knees or how often, its about seeking his help and then acting so that he can make it happen!
