The scriptures teach us that when we ask God for his help, he wants us to first do our part, and after we have done all that we can do, he is more inclined to help us out.
“Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it to you , when you took no thought save it was to ask me.” (D&C 9:8)
I think Clara might be beginning to grasp this concept.
She had been asking me since the early morning if we could make cookies together. But as always, there are a million things to do in the day and the cookies kept getting pushed aside. Later in the afternoon I came downstairs, after putting Ellis down for his nap, & just look what she had done —
She gathered all the ingredients to make cookies, all by herself!
Instead of just asking, she did EVERYTHING she could to make sure the cookies would be made.
Cookies granted!
Who knew principles of truth could taste yummy?!
