ask, and ye shall receive

• If any of you lack widom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that waverth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

  When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
  (For the Lord thyGod is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of they fathers which he sware unto them.

blessings of

• I say to you that there is revelation in the Church. The Lord not only blesses the men who stand at the head and hold the keys of the kingdom, but he also blesses every faithful individual with the spirit of inspiration. He gives His people revelation for their own guidance, wherein they keep His commandments and serve Him. That is a blessing promised and within their power to recieve.

• "Living What We Pray For”

  I knelt to pray when day was done
  And prayed, “O Lord, bless everyone;
  Lift from each saddened heart the pain,
  And leg the sick be well again.”

  And then I woke another day
  And carelessly went on my way;
  The whole day long I did not try
  To wipe a tear from any eye.

  I did not try to share the load
  Of any brother on the road;
  I did not even go to see
  The sick man, just next door to me.

  Yet, once again, when day was done,
  I prayed, “O Lord bless everyone.”
  But as I prayed, into my ear
  There came a voice that whispered clear.

  "Pause now, my son, before you pray;
  Whom have you tried to bless today?
  Bod’s sweetest blessings always go
  By hands that serve Him here below.”

  And then I hid my face and cried,
  "Forgive me, God, I have not tried.
  Let me but live another day,
  And I will live the way I pray.”

• The Prayer Rock

  I’m your little “Prayer Rock”
  and this is what I’ll do.
  Just put me under your pillow
  ’till the day is through.
  Then turn back the covers,
  and climb into bed,
  and WACK! your little “Prayer Rock”
  will hit you on the head.
  Then you will remember as
  the day is through,
  to kneel and say your prayers
  as you wanted to.
  Then when youare finished,
  just dump me on the floor.

  I’ll stay there through the night
  to give you help once more.
  And when you get up the next moring.
  CLUNK! I’ll stub your toe.
  So you will remember your
  morning prayers before you go.
  Put me back upon your pillow
  when your bed is made,
  and your clever little “Prayer Rock”
  will continue in your aid.
  Because your Heavenly Father
  cares and loves you so. The Whole Armor of God
