Your life will be easier when you accept that what God does in your life is for your eternal good. You are asked to look for an answer to your prayers. It may be through your prayers, or as an impression of the Holy Ghost, and at times by the intervention of others. You must study it out in your mind; then. The Savior defines two separate ways: For me, response to the mind is very specific, like dictated words, while response to the heart is generalized, like a feeling to pray more.
Oliver Cowdery was taught another way in which positive answers come: When I have been very concerned about an important matter, struggling to resolve it without success, I continued those efforts in faith. Later, an all-pervading peace has come, settling my concerns, as He has promised. Some misunderstandings about prayer can be clarified by realizing that the scriptures define principles for effective prayer, but they do not assure when a response will be given.
Actually, He will reply in one of three ways. First, you can feel the peace, comfort, and assurance that confirm that your decision is right. Or second, you can sense that unsettled feeling, the stupor of thought, indicating that your choice is wrong. Or third - and this is the difficult one - you can feel no response. What do you do when you have prepared carefully, have prayed fervently, waited a reasonable time for a response, and still do not feel an answer? You may want to express thanks when that occurs, for it is an evidence of His trust.
When you are living worthily and your choice is consistent with the Savior's teachings and you need to act, proceed with trust. As you are sensitive to the promptings of the Spirit, one of two things will certainly occur at the appropriate time: When you are living righteously and are acting with trust, God will not let you proceed too far without a warning impression if you have made the wrong decision. Gratitude for the Gift of Prayer An important aspect of prayer is gratitude. Jesus declared, "And in nothing doth man offend God. Should we not, therefore, continually and profoundly express to our beloved Father, as well as we are able, our unbounded gratitude for the supernal gift of prayer and for His answers that meet our needs while motivating us to grow?
I testify our Father will always answer your prayers in the way and in the time that will be for your best eternal good.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Please, dear Father, bless us with faith. Bless us with love.

Bless the cause of peace and bring it quickly to us again, we humbly plead with Thee, asking that Thou wilt forgive our arrogance, pass by our sins, be kind and gracious to us, and cause our hearts to turn with love toward Thee.
