-The Lord answers prayer in His own timing and in His own way. The people in Helaman 11 were praying for help because of the famine that the Lord had put on them because of their wickedness but they were required to change their lives and do as was asked of them before they could just have what they were praying for.
-What is the Lord asking me to change or do differently to get what I am praying for? What is required of me?

They had (Helaman 11:23) "many revelations daily,".
-We probably have many revelations or inspirational thoughts daily we just don't write them down or consider them revelation. We should learn better to give credit where credit is due when receiving revelation from God.

It's amazing how people get a little bit of power and they take it and usually become worldly and prideful. We must realize that all we have is God's and he is allowing us to borrow it from Him; talents, abilities, strengths, our worldly possessions, and even our personality and who we are all belongs to God.

Blessing- God loves me and wants me to succeed in life so He has given me talents and continues to make me a better person and servant for Himself.

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...
