1 John 3:22-24

22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

We were discussing the subject of prayer the other night at dinner. I told my boys that they could find the answer to anything in the scriptures and would be given the answer to whatever they desired if they offered a sincere prayer. Their skeptical looks reminded me of a time a few months ago when I was really struggling with my college math class.

I was home alone, working on my homework and feeling increasingly frustrated because I did not understand the concepts. I suddenly felt the impression to pray. I thanked my Heavenly Father for the opportunity I had to be in school and learn new things. I then expressed my frustration at my inability to grasp my math homework. I ended my prayer and started on my homework again. I was able to finish my homework and I was doing so my son came home from school. He asked how my homework was going and I told him how frustrated I had been, but after my prayer I was able to understand and finish rather quickly. He was surprised that I would receive Heavenly help for homework, but I explained that we can receive help for whatever our righteous desires may be.

I told this story to my boys and bore testimony that they will receive help from their Heavenly Father on ANY problem if they just ask.

I bear the same testimony to each of you. If you have a big problem, or one that seems silly and insignificant please know that your Heavenly Father wants to help you, if you will just ask.

I LOVE YOU!
