In the Old Testament I read David's words that the Lord is his light and his strength and he has no need to fear. Though wicked enemies seek to destroy him, he has confidence in the Lord is does not need to be afraid. Ps. 27: 1-3 "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident."
In the Book of Mormon I read a familiar verse that tells that that the Lord doesn't give us any commandments save He prepares the way for us to keep those commandments. 1 Ne. 3: 7 "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that God doesn't listen to sinners, but He'll hear the prayers of those who do His will. If we want our prayers answered, we need to keep the commandments and obey the Lord. John 9: 31 "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth."
