Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 103:31
"Behold this is my will; ask and ye shall receive; but men do not always do my will."
This reminded me of our discussion in Relief Society today. That sometimes we don't receive answers to our prayers because we are not willing to do what the Lord requires of us. Why should He answer if we are not willing to listen and do?
"In the spring of 1820, a young boy named Joseph Smith went into the woods near his home to pray. He had questions regarding the salvation of his soul, and he yearned “to know which of all the [churches] was right, that [he] might know which to join.” Joseph trusted that God would answer his prayer and direct him.
Please note that Joseph did not pray merely to know what was right. Rather, he prayed to know what was right so he could do what was right. Joseph asked in faith and was determined to act in accordance with the answers he received."
