Scripture Saturday — D&C 112:10

"Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers." (Doctrine and Covenants 112:10)
I will do just about anything to help a humble person. It's more difficult to want to help or respect an arrogant person.

I imagine our relationship with God is much the same way. He loves all of His children equally, of course, just as a mother loves each of her children the same. But I think it is easier for Him to bless those who seek His help than those who shun Him at every turn, preferring instead to rely on their own wisdom and strength.

Humility, coupled with prayer, qualifies us for answers from our Heavenly Father. And as Elder Richard G. Scott taught, there is no limit to what we can receive from God, provided we are willing to humbly ask for more.

One of my favorite hymns is Grietje Terburg Rowley's Be Thou Humble, which is based on this scripture. Listen to that hymn here.
