35 Therefore, as I said unto you, ask and ye shall receive; pray earnestly that peradventure my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., may go with you, and preside in the midst of my people, and organize my kingdom upon the consecrated land, and establish the children of Zion upon the laws and commandments which have been and which shall be given unto you.
36 All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your diligence, faithfulness, and prayers of faith.
I like "ask and ye shall receive" and verse 36 in it's entirety. It's a good reminder for me. I was given a blessing just before Chris left that said that I would have a few trials while he was gone and I would learn just how Satan attacks me. And I know. There are three major areas, and thanks to the attacks, I know just when an attack is happening and hopefully I can deal with it better since I can recognize it. Anyway, I definitely need help with them, I want to improve those areas and I don't know how. This is where verse 36 comes in. It's just what I want to hear. Diligence: Stick with it, keep praying about it and don't give up if you don't get immediate answers. Faithfulness: Believe that you are going to get an answer. Prayers of faith: Just do it.

The goal of this is to read more scriptures, think about them more, and understand them better. I hope to post as near once a day as I can. Most of the time I use muscle testing to find the specific scriptures I need to read that day.

Sometimes the diligence is the hardest part. Sometimes it requires a lot of faith. We will see how I feel after my 20 miles on saturday that will require a lot of diligence.
Also another scriptuer that relates to this one is the one in 2 nephi 31 verses 19 and 20
Yes, diligence can be hard, especially when you are used to getting answers quickly.
