17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
This last Sunday I was asked to teach in YW for ward conferences on the subject of personal revelation. So it has been a topic on my mind. In my lesson I referenced a quote by President Uchtdorf which states:
"Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us. "
Just a few minutes ago I was upstairs cutting up a cantaloupe for my kids to eat. Yes, it is not the time I would expect to receive any answers to my prayers. But I felt an impression regarding a family matter that has been weighing on me lately. You see this particular matter was the subject of much of my prayers last Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. And while I sure would have loved an immediate answer to this after my prayer, I knew it would come when I was ready and open to it. I just didn't expect it while I was standing in my kitchen cutting fruit. Following these thoughts and feelings, Pres. Uchtdorf's words immediately came to my mind.
I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that will always answer our heartfelt prayers. Keep the prayer in your heart, pray often and have faith. In the quiet moments of your day, the spirit will speak to you. I testify of this!
Love,
Sister Emett

What a great reminder! Sometimes I fail to recognize thoughts that I have as answers. Especially when they come at random moments. Thanks Sis. Emett!
