prayers are answered

Well, we've been looking for more land, and it has come down to the day to make a decision of whether we will sell our house and get land (5.25 acres in Payson) or stay here and refinance. We all wanted to move to that land, and we've been praying about it and haven't felt like we've gotten an answer either way. Well, we had to decide tonight, so we said a prayer that we would know for sure what we should do since we HAD to make a decision tonight (refinance rules are changing April 1). Right after that Todd opened the scriptures to this verse:
D&C 48: 1 It is necessary that ye should remain for the present time in your places of abode, as it shall be suitable to your circumstances
Later it says this: 4 It must needs be necessary that ye save all the money that ye can, and that ye obtain all that ye can in righteousness, that in time ye may be enabled to purchase land for an inheritance

So as excited as I was to move to that 5.25 acres in Payson, it looks like we should stay here and save our money and maybe we could buy land later.

The scripture we just happen to be memorizing right now is 3 Nephi 27: 27-29
28And now I ago unto the Father. And verily I say unto you, whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall be given unto you.
29Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened


The power of prayer!
