Emma smith wrote to Joseph and asked for this:
“I desire the Spirit of God to know and understand myself, that I might be able to overcome whatever of tradition or nature that would not tend to my exaltation in the eternal worlds. I desire a fruitful, active mind, that I may be able to comprehend the designs of God, when revealed through His servants without doubting.”
Letter to Joseph Smith, 1844, Church History Library
Why can't I be great in the site of the Lord? Why do I have to let my family dictate what I can and cannot do? I want to be successful not just for myself and my family, but to be able to take care of my parents when it comes time. I need to have the Spirit with me. I must! If I do not then I will not be able to succeed. I want to do His will. We watched a Mormon message yesterday about a young girl who was gathering things for Sunday and their travels to work, but was afraid they could not afford to take their ride to church. She was so concerned she was praying in her heart that it would be alright and she was exercising her faith as well as the faith of her mother and father. Charcoal had increased so that she had to spend double of what they use to spend and the last stop she pleaded with the Lord and as she reached back to get the rest of the money she felt a thick stack of bills where their was only one left before.She was able to buy the rest of her families' needs and the family had enough to make their trip to church.
I need a miracle. I need to exercise my faith more. Please stay with me Lord. Please.
