The Acts 16: 9-10
9. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
There are few things that we are asked to do while we are here on the earth. Sometimes we might feel overwhelmed or inadequate or that what is asked of us is too much. If we have an eternal perspective then we will realize that it is not much at all that is required of us. The Lord has promised has promised His spirit to be with us if we strive to be obedient and follow him. Through His spirit we can receive answers to prayers. Sometimes we are asked to be instruments to answer someone else's prayer. When we are blessed to do the Lord's work we should be willing to swiftly respond to whatever is asked of us.
He Will Lead Thee by the Hand
“The Lord has said, ‘Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers’ (D&C 112:10).
“What a tremendous promise is given in this statement. If we are without conceit and pride and arrogance, if we are humble and obedient, then the Lord will lead us by the hand and answer our prayers. What greater thing could we ask for? There is nothing to compare with this.”

It's really amazing if we think all the Lord has promised us. All we have to do is give Him everything that we are - our will - and He will share what Ha has with us.
We really are blessed to live at a time when the Lord has given us a prophet. It has been interesting to see the way people have responded to the word of the brethtren in recent months with different political issues etc. it's sad to see that many people don't "heed the prophet's warning". Some of the greatest blessings come from following the prophet.
