Did you know that the most repeated theme in the scriptures is, "Ask and ye shall receive?" I know this because Elder Packer says so in his book "Teach Ye Diligently." It is in the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.
So if it is in every book of scripture it must be pretty important! It is such a simple doctrine! Yet why is it so hard for us to do it?
Some of the words or phrases I noticed that are associated with asking are:
Believing, Desire, Receiving, Seek, Thanksgiving, Liberally, Upbraideth Not, ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, Faith, Which is right, Humble, What is expedient, shall be done, and we are commanded to call upon Him.
Wow, I am going to start asking for more, but try to remind myself to keep it righteous and in accordance with HIS will.
