Where is Ore

When seeking blessings through prayer, it is easy to pray in a general sense and to then expect the Lord to fill in the details. Isn't it true that we often ask for blessings in a broad sense, and then wonder why we don’t receive the specific ones we really desire? If we are keeping the commandments, we are entitled to receive blessings that are specific nature. But we need to be specific when we ask. The Lord wants to bless us, and if we are keeping the commandments and our covenants, He desires to have Himself bound by our faithfulness. But He also wants us to learn this type of direct correlation of asking and receiving as it pertains to the powers of heaven.

 1 Nephi 17:8 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Thou shalt construct a ship, after the manner which I shall show thee, that I may carry thy people across these waters.
 9 And I said: Lord, whither shall I go that I may find ore to molten, that I may make tools to construct the ship after the manner which thou hast shown unto me?
 10 And it came to pass that the Lord told me whither I should go to find ore, that I might make tools.

LESSON LEARNED: The Lord desires to bless us specifically with the blessings we ask for so we can learn about His love and the power of prayer.
