Did you know God never answers NO?

We have been given a gift from our Heavenly Father. The creator of the universe has made it possible for us to communicate to him through prayer. He has told us through His word in the scriptures (2 Nephi 32:8-9,2 Chronicles 7:14) that He desires to hear from us in prayer. But we often are hesitant to pray and to truly solicit the Lord's help because we are worried his answer might be. We avoid asking our Heavenly Father for blessings because if we don't ask he can't say No. I would like to propose that God NEVER answers No.  He never answers No but He does answer our prayers!

I have heard it said that He will answer in one of three ways

1. He will say "Yes!"
2."Not right now"
3. or "I have something much better in mind"
Because He is all knowing and because He loves us, He is truly the only one who can give us the answers and the blessings we need. The answers to our prayers will always be greater than we could have ever asked for if we allow God to show us His love!

Let the Holy Spirit guide



We have been promised many times in the scriptures (Doctrine and Coventants 11:13, John 14:26-27) that we can have the Spirit to be with us. The Spirit or the Holy Ghost can help us in our everyday life. He can give us comfort, love, and peace. He can teach us, guide us, and testify of truth to our hearts. But what does the Spirit feel like? How do we know when we are receiving direction and guidance? This video explains a little better how the spirit works with different people and how if we are living righteously we can have the Holy Ghost to be with us at ALL TIMES!


                                   
    

This can be our New Years resolution. 
To live so that we can have the Spirit to be with us at all times!
