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!

Prayer. It's a Gift!

Prayer. An often unused gift from a loving Heavenly Father who answers prayers. He tells us in James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." He is telling us to ask Him, through prayer, and he will in his own way and his own time answer our prayers. This video is a perfect example of how God really does answer prayers of those who ask him sincerely. I love the faith that she showed as she prayed to know if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true and if that is the path she should follow. I know that we each have a purpose here on earth and that if we ask God he will let us know what our purpose is. So pray to him! Do it today! Use this amazing gift and feel his love for you!

Prayer is a Passport to PEACE!

Prayer is a gift given to us as a way to communicate our inner most feelings and desires to our creator and the creator of all the universe! Though at times we feel inadequate and not worthy of this gift I want to promise you that those times are when we need prayer the most! I want to declare that God, our loving Heavenly Father, loves each of us so perfectly and wants to hear from us and to help and guide us every day! I love this quote! 
"To those within the sound of my voice who are struggling with challenges and difficulties large and small, prayer is the provider of spiritual strength; it is the passport to peace. Prayer is the means by which we approach our Father in Heaven, who loves us. Speak to Him in prayer and then listen for the answer. Miracles are wrought through prayer." Pres. Thomas S. Monson
I know this is true and bear this witness in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!

Trust God and believe in Good things to come!!! :)

As a part of life we all have those times of trial. When it seems like nothing will ever go right. We are strictly focused on the present and our patience becomes very thin. It is at those times that we have an important choice to make. We can choose to turn to the quick but fleeting aid of the world and it's fair weather friends. Or we can turn to God. I can promise that it is only through turning to God that we truly be happy! I can promise that his love and his peace can consume your doubts, and fears and that he is waiting for you to turn to him with his arms wide open. I can promise that if you turn to him it will all be worth it. But don't just take my word for it! When troubles come get on your knees and ask him with a sincere heart and with the intent to do his will! Then like me you will know of his love and peace! Trust God and believe in good things to come!

Our hands can become his hands.

The Lord ALWAYS answers our prayers. But it is often through the service of others that they are answered. Our Savior Jesus Christ was the ultimate example of service and love and through the studying of his life and his word we can become more like him! I know that as I read the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ I am filled with the love of the Lord. I feel the guidance of the Holy Ghost more powerfully in my life and I am able to witness miracles in my life and the lives of others! I know it can do the same for you!
