Doctrine and Covenants 46:30

"He that asketh in the Spirit asketh according to the will of God; wherefore it is done even as he asketh."
Doctrine and Covenants 46:30


This is very cool... a scripture that tells us how to get what we ask for. :) Of course, it isn't that simple.  If we really want a new car, we can't just get into spiritual mode and ask for it, and *poof* new car. :) Part of having the spirit with us is being in tune with God and wanting what he wants... now, sometimes, God WILL want a new car for us.  Especially if we just have a two-door and have 12 children. 
God has granted material blessings to me in the past when I had a real need.  I think it happens... but the idea here isn't to just get rich and have more toys than everyone else.  The idea is that if we work on having the spirit, God will be able to do as we ask, because we won't ask for anything inappropriate.  So, today, let's work on having the spirit with us, and being on the same page with God.  Then, we can ask for what we truly need.  Asking is a great thing, and we should have that kind of dialogue with God, who wants us to ask, and who wants us to seek good things.  Two verses after this, it reminds us to give thanks as well.  Another good idea. :)
