Prioritizing time for faith (General Conference)

Richard G. Scott's talk was the talk that most spoke to me.  He talked of four things to better ones life.  Prayer, scripture study, family home evening, and temple attendance.  The two that stood out most to me was prayer and scripture study, and how we need to make exercising faith our first priority.  By prioritizing your time to make time for God through prayer, scripture study, family home evening, and temple attendance will bring peace into your life.
As a college student you're in a time in your life when you're making important decisions and you want to make the right ones.  Some of those decisions consists of a career, a spouse to choose and so on.  To be able to make those good decisions that are going to effect you for the rest of your life you want help.  Having a good relationship with God is probably something of benefit to have while making those important decisions.  Elder Scott teaches of that if we want to receive answers from God we need to make time for him.  He said that most answers we get from Him are through His written word.  We need to study the scriptures and the words of the living day prophets.  He said that studying those things is more important than sleep, school, work, and video games.  That was eye opening considering all I do every day is study school.  That being said I need to prioritize my own time to become better at those aspects of my life.
