The trials you face on Earth will make you stronger and will help you learn more about the gifts that I have given you. Although I will not take away your trials, I promise that I will always be with you to help you to overcome your trials if you ask me.
I asked God for wealth and God said no.
The gold and silver that you gain here do not compare to the salvation that you can earn through my Son.
I asked God to teach me about Him and God said no.
I have sent you prophets, the Holy Ghost, and even My Son to teach you. Go and learn about Me from them.
I asked God to heal my only child and God said no.
I know your pain for I sacrificed My Son for you, but even as I had a plan for My Son, so have I for yours.
I asked God if He loved me and God said yes.
That is why I let My Son die for you, that is why I have been sending prophets to you, and that is why I will never leave you.
I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me and God said ...
Ah, you’ve finally got the right idea.
