The brother of Jared put a lot of work into preparing the sixteen stones with faith that the Lord would use those stones to provide them light on their journey. In this case, the Lord lit the stones. What if the Lord hadn't lit the stones? How might one explain such an instance when a righteous desire was presented to the Lord and was not answered as hoped?

In verse 10, the brother of Jared asks the Lord to reveal himself, even after already receiving an incredible revelation. This leads to a special, spiritual experience in which he sees the Lord. What would have happened if he hadn't ventured to ask for that blessing? Are there blessings for which we might ask that we haven't thought to request or that we hesitate to address?
