We do not always receive inspiration or revelation when we request it. Sometimes we are delayed in the receipt of revelation, and sometimes we are left to our own judgment. We cannot force spiritual things. It must be so. Our life’s purpose to obtain experience and to develop faith would be frustrated if our Heavenly Father directed us in every act, even in every important act. We must make decisions and experience the consequences in order to develop self-reliance and faith.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
This can be a hard doctrine in these days of luxury and instant gratification, and yet we must learn that this doctrine is true. We are here to gain experience and that experience does not always come cheaply. I love how Elder Jeffrey R. Holland says that, salvation is not a cheap experience.
May we be filled with greater faith in our prayers that are answered quickly as well as our prayers answered in the Lord’s way and timing.
Craig
