I´m sure there are times when all of us have prayed and felt that we didn't receive an answer.  We constantly testify that God hears our prayers and will answer them, yet why are there still those moments when you don't get a "yes" or "no" answer like you want?  It struck me deeply in class when we studied Christ's reaction to the Caananite women who came to Him, begging for His help.  In Matthew 15 it tells us, "But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us."  Jesus answered her with Silence.  Why?  This woman then shows great faith and she submissively and meekly continues to beg for His help.  Her faith led to this miracle.  Richard G. Scott told us in his 2007 April General conference talk that we can receive answers in 3 ways, we will receive a confirmation telling us the right path, or we will feel that it is wrong, or we will not feel anything.  When silence is the answer it is because God trusts us. He is putting faith in us that we know how to make the decision, and if we don't He won't let us go far before telling us "no".  If God trusts us enough to let us make our own decisions, then we need to start believing in ourselves.  We have the light of Christ, that gives us direction of what is right and what is wrong.  I believe that light also guides us in our life-decisions.  We still need to pray about all our doings and decisions, God will guide us; maybe not with a strong, loud "yes" but He will guide us through our thoughts and feelings.  And He will be there watching us all along as we go about making decisions for ourselves.
