Just Ask.

From my reading this morning..
Alma 62:48-51
 48 And the people of Nephi began to prosper again in the land, and began to multiply and to wax exceedingly strong again in the land. And they began to grow exceedingly rich.
 49 But notwithstanding their riches, or their strength, or their prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of their eyes; neither were they slow to remember the Lord their God; but they did humble themselves exceedingly before him.
 50 Yea, they did remember how great things the Lord had done for them, that he had delivered them from death, and from bonds, and from prisons, and from all manner of afflictions, and he had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies.
 51 And they did pray unto the Lord their God continually, insomuch that the Lord did bless them, according to his word, so that they did wax strong and prosper in the land.
 
And also, 3 Nephi 13:32-34
32 For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof.
 
And 3 Nephi 14:7-11
 7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?
 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
 
I had this experience the other day. (other month) I was having a really hard day. I was sad, and worried. I didn't have any answers for my problems, I felt discouraged. I decided to go on a walk, and talk to my Heavenly Father. I told Him about my troubles. When I got home. I felt better. I felt like my problems had been lifted off of me. Nothing had changed, nothing was different. I just didn't feel the pressure from my problems, I had a gift, it was a gift of relief. I felt happy and confident and hopeful.
I know Heavenly Father is there for us. He wants to give us good gifts.
 
We just need to ask.
 
 

So I was reading this on my bed and looked out my window and saw this in the window sill.
