Yes, I see all those quotes. None of them say you should check every second with the Holy Ghost about what to have for breakfast or what brand of toothpaste you should buy. We SHOULD be in tune with the Holy Ghost so when we are warned toothpaste or Trix is harming us, we will listen and change. That is NOT the same as saying a quick prayer every time you pick up a product at the grocery store or approach a stop sign.
Furthermore, our goal is to become like God. Does the Holy Ghost tell God what to do, or does God instruct the Holy Ghost? Which God do you worship? The arguments about why we should subject our individuality to the Holy Ghost are hollow. We are supposed to grow and learn. If someone is a Telestial Being, or Natural Man, they see their goal as to obtain as much of the Holy Ghost as possible. It will help them change and grow. They then reach a point where they are always in tune with the Holy Ghost. That does not mean they don't make decisions without the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
Perhaps I simply need to state it this way. We should pray about large decisions, even when it appears obvious.
We should pray when we encounter a difficult decision where we cannot see what is right.
When we encounter a decision where we already know what is right, we should not hesitate, but move forward, trusting that we will be warned if we are proceeding down the wrong path.
When we encounter a decision where there is no apparent difference between the choices (Crest or Colgate) why pause at all? If we are in tune enough to hear warnings, we would receive the 'spiritual text' telling us there is something wrong with the toothpaste.
