In the Old Testament I read that cursed would be the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord. But blessed would be the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. Jer. 17: 5, 7 "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is."
In the Book of Mormon I read that whatever we ask the Father for in the name of Jesus Christ will be given to us. This theme is repeated in several places in the scriptures. We need to pray for those things that we need, and if it is best for us to receive them, we will. Heavenly Father always answers our prayers in the way that is best for us. Sometimes He answers our prayers yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait awhile, but He always answers our prayers and we can trust that His answers are right. 3 Ne. 27: 28-29 "And now I go unto the Father. And verily I say unto you, whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall be given unto you. Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that the Lord's voice is like a noise of many waters and His glory shines on the earth. When God speaks, we'd better listen! Ezek. 43: 2 "And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory."
