Good quote

Today's Relief Society lesson was on the topic of prayer. While listening and pondering on the message, I thought of a quote that an Elder on my mission introduced to me regarding recognizing answers to our prayers. I wanted to raise my hand and share it in Relief Society, but I did not have a copy of it with me, and no longer have it memorized. So, I am posting it here instead. These are the words of Elder Richard G. Scott, recorded in the November 1989 Ensign. Enjoy!

"When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence.

When He answers no, it is to prevent error.

When He withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth. We are expected to assume accountability by acting on a decision that is consistent with His teachings without prior confirmation. We are not to sit passively waiting or to murmur because the Lord has not spoken. We are to act.
Most often what we have chosen to do is right. He will confirm the correctness of our choices His way. That confirmation generally comes through packets of help found along the way. We discover them by being spiritually sensitive. They are like notes from a loving Father as evidence of His approval."
