Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read that Huldah prophesied that the wrath of the Lord would fall upon the wicked people but that Josiah would be blessed for his righteousness and because he humbled himself before the Lord. 2 Kgs. 22: 16-20 "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read: Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard; Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again."

In the D&C we're reminded that whatever we ask for in faith that's according to God's will, shall be given to us. Prayers indeed are answered! D&C 29: 6 "And, as it is written—Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive."

A verse from a thought booklet tells us that the Lord had done great things for us and we can be glad because of it. We can rejoice in the Lord and all He's done for us. Ps. 126: 3 "The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad."
