"God is eagerly waiting for the 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."

- Jeffrey R. Holland

I stumbled upon this quote yesterday and it really spoke to me. I've been hoping for a lot of things lately. Wishing that I could do this, and I could accomplish that. When I read this quote, I realized that I've been neglecting some very important steps in turning these hopes into a reality. Praying and believing. I guess I didn't realize that I can pray for things that are just hopes of mine. Prayer is not restricted to just the things that I need or for blessings on those going through hard times, although those things are very important.

We can pray about anything.

But it doesn't just stop with prayer. It also requires belief. Belief in the form of action. So today I am going to not only start praying to achieve my goals and realize my dreams, I am also going to act and do everything I can to get me where I need to be, when I need to be there. Then Heavenly Father can guide me on the path to fulfilling my dreams.
