Praying

Today in Relief Society the teacher said something that got me thinking.  She was talking about Faith and prayer.  She said that when we pray to Heavenly Father asking for something that if we have Faith that means that we are willing to do whatever it takes after we have asked for something or about something.  So if we are wanting to know if we should do something or if we have questions that need answers we need to be willing to follow through with the answer we get.  WOW...I wonder how many times I have asked about something when Heavenly Father knew I wasn't going to follow through....or maybe that I was too afraid to do whatever it was I was asking about.  It really made me think more about what I ask for and how willing I am to do what is needed.  SO instead of just expecting Him to answer me and say yes....I need to have more faith.  I need to have the faith to know that if it is the Lords will....I need to be ready and willing to go and do.  Rather than thinking the Lord doesn't hear and answer our prayers is really so NOT right.  I believe it is more of our OWN doing that keeps us from getting the answers we so desperately want.  I believe He answers every prayer....but it isn't always how we want.....or maybe it is not right now...or maybe just a NO or maybe...just maybe it is because we are lacking in faith or aren't willing to put forth the effort needed.
