-Our Heavenly Father knew that when he sent us down to earth we would sin and fall short the glory of god; "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" Romans 3:23-24 But He loves us perfectly so He planned for a Savior to redeem us from our sins but in order to have this blessing in our lives we must "repent and forsake (your) sins..." (Alma 39:9)

This can seem like a big task because repenting requires a change of heart and mind.

God has a plan for everyone and for everything that is going to happen. It gives me comfort to know that I can pray to Him and He will guide me to do what is right for me in my life. I know that He loves me and cares about every aspect of my life the good times and the hard times. 

It's interesting to see the different ways in which our Father in Heaven reaches out to us and Him in our lives and to guide us and direct us though. I know the won't lead us astray if we go to Him in all things and counsel with Him.

Blessing- God answers prayers.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
