Why Do I Not Get The Blessings That I Ask For

       Does God love them more than me? Does He bless others more than me because I'm not as good as them? Why do I not get the blessings that I ask for?

       So many of us ask ourselves these questions hoping that our Father in Heaven will  listen in and help us out more. When in reality He is there waiting for us to allow him to enter in.

       Just as a furnished house or temple has the electricity hooked up already to go, we too have the love of God  all hooked up and ready to be turned on. The light switch is like a dial where we can turn the brightness of the light up or dim it down according to our pleasure. We can make our temple within as bright as we want or as dark as we want.

      Christ is the light of the world. Light casts out darkness. His and His father's love for us is infinite. As we follow Their counsel we are turning up the light. As we do so the peace, joy, patience, and love that they have for us enters in, and casts out all the stress, fear, anger, and doubt that darkness fills us with.

       Does God love 'them' more than me?...Not a chance. Does He bless 'others' more than me because I'm not like 'them'?...Only if we let Him. Why do I not get the blessings that I ask for?... I don't know, why don't you?

       As a Child we say to our mother:
1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;Teach me to pray to my Father above;


Teach me to know of the things that are right;Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.


    
    Our mother then says to us:


2. Come, little child, and together we’ll learn Of his commandments, that we may return


Home to his presence, to live in his sight—Always, always to walk in the light.




      Then as a family we say:


3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day For loving guidance to show us the way.


Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight! Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light. (Hymn no. 304 LDS Hymn Book)




     As a child there were many times that I know my mom had to exercise EXTREME patients 


with my brothers and my sister and I. I know that it is because of her and my father's  example 


of "walking in the light" that has lead me to where I am now.


   
  "There is no place like home" better yet... "There is no 


place like in my moms arms!"
