Doctrine and Covenants 12-13

(September 21, 2015)

                I have been dancing around this issue recently (in multiple scriptures) and I guess these Sections really drove home the point to me.  We are told that if we ask we shall receive, but we are not (to my knowledge) told that we will receive what we asked for.  Instead, like Nephi asking to burst his bands, we tend to be given what we need (and just what we need) from the Lord along with the help and inspiration that we need to grow and develop into what the Lord would have us to be.
