Have you ever had a prayer you thought was not being answered? Sometimes it is just because the Lord trusts us to make the right decision all on our own. We sometimes forget how well Heavenly Father knows us. He trusts us and we have to let ourselves trust Him. We have to have faith that whatever we decide the Lord will be with us helping and making little miracles happen along the way. When we look back we will see His hand a little more clearly. Trust that as you diligently try to keep your covenants you will be guided by the Holy Ghost in all you do and say. When we exercise our faith we can teach children to trust the Lord and exercise their faith. Teach the children that prayers can be answered in many different ways feelings, thoughts, other people, fasting, blessings, and sometimes the feeling of no answer is in reality an answer. No answer is not always an answer we like or want, but Jesus Christ planned that we have agency to choose. Heavenly Father knows the talents and tasks we are capable of even when we don't. He wants us to use our agency to choose.
Mosiah 5:7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.
When we keep covenants and exercise our faith we become sons and daughters of Christ. We become like Christ. Why wouldn't He trust us to make good decisions.
