Answers to Prayers

I had kind of a cool experience today, and I wanted to record it so that I could reflect on it later.

A few weeks ago, I had recorded on this blog an experience I had while I prayed. I desired to be taught and I said the words, "Teach me, I am ready to learn." Here's what I wrote: 

...About a week ago, I was praying for further knowledge regarding the plan of salvation, more specifically the pre-mortal realm. I pleaded with my Heavenly Father to teach me, I told Him that I was ready to learn. That familiar primary song popped into my head and I began to recite the chorus in my mind as I prayed. Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do, to live with Thee someday. Suddenly, I realized what I had done. Without really thinking about it, I had changed the perspective of the song. I was His child. I was pleading with my Heavenly parent to guide me and teach me. It's what I yearn for. It's what I need. The parent-child relationship with my Heavenly parents became clearer. He was teaching me, through the spirit. He is our mentor. And He hasn't left us alone to figure it out on our own.

Fast forward to today. 

I was approached after church by a woman in our ward. Her name is Sister Lisa Martin. She pulled me aside and told me that she felt very prompted to tell me about a book written by James E. Talmage called, "The Articles of Faith". She said that she had been reading it and got the distinct impression that Heavenly Father wanted to teach me and that I was ready to learn. She said that she didn't know why that impression came to her, but she couldn't shake it. That's when I told her that the Lord was using her to answer my prayer, that I had prayed recently and said pretty much the same words to Heavenly Father that were impressed upon her own mind in regards to me. It was an answer to my prayer. So, I am excited now to read the book and see what Heavenly Father wants me to learn. 

I do know He loves me. I do know that He is aware of me.
