How God Answers Prayer



“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”(Unknown) I really like this cause that is exactly how god works in our lives. We might not get what we ask for but we will get what we need.

Happiness


So I came across this quote sorry I am not sure who said it but I thought it was really good. "Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of traveling"(Unknown). I thought that it was really good cause I mean, we all need to be happy as we go along this journey in life.

Another Testament of Jesus Christ


The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I would just like to tell you a little about how the Book of Mormon has blessed my life.
It has helped me come to the knowledge that i know that The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored back to the earth after a long time of being in the dark through the Prophet Joesph Smith.
The Prophet Joesph Smith said “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”(Book of Mormon Introduction)
It has also helped me come to the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ and that He is the Savior and Redeemer of the entire world. I know that all you need to do is read and ponder the Book of Mormon, then go in humble prayer to your Father in Heaven and ask Him if it is true(Moroni 10: 3-5).
I would also just let you know that I have done this and I know that it works and know if you do the same He will answer your prayer.

Prayer


Have you ever asked yourself, Dose God answer my prayers? How do i know if i have received an answer? Or is he even there?

Well i want you to know that God dose hear and answer your prayers. I know that from my own experiences. From when i have had struggles and hard ships in my own life. Being able to turn to your Heavenly Father in prayer, is one of the best things you can do.

This is what the Bible dictionary says about prayer, "As soon as we learn the true relationship in which we stand toward God (namely, God is our Father, and we are his children), then at once prayer becomes natural and instinctive on our part (Matt. 7: 7-11). Many of the so-called difficulties about prayer arise from forgetting this relationship. Prayer is the act by which the will of the Father and the will of the child are brought into correspondence with each other. The object of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant, but that are made conditional on our asking for them. Blessings require some work or effort on our part before we can obtain them. Prayer is a form of work, and is an appointed means for obtaining the highest of all blessings." (LDS Bible Dictionary pg.752).
I know that prayer will bring you closer to your Father In Heaven, and as you ask for his help He will help you
