A quote by Elder Holland came up on my dash today, "God is eagerly waiting for a chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has.  But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream.  In short, He can't if you don't believe."

I love this idea about praying.  It is dependent on us.  And dreaming is as important as praying, we must also pursue our dreams! We must put in our work too if we want to find those answers in prayers. 

"Do not despair.  Do not give up.  Look for the sunlight through the clouds.  Opportunities will eventually open up to you." -- President Hinckley.

Dream.  Pray.  Believe.  That is what it takes, but I also believe in acting.  Final step to get those blessings that God has promised us, they don't just fall down from the sky, we have to catch them.
