QUOTE: “We have clearly shown that God the Father had a plurality of wives, one or more being in eternity, by whom He begat our spirits as well as the spirit of Jesus His first Born, and another being upon the earth by whom He begat the tabernacle of Jesus, as his only begotten in the world. We have also proved most clearly that the Son followed the example of his Father, and became the great Bridegroom to whom kings’ daughters and many honorable wives were to be married. We have also proved that both God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ inherit their wives in eternity as well as in time…. If you do not want your morals corrupted, and your delicate ears shocked and your pious modesty put to the blush by the society of polygamists and their wives, do not venture near the New Earth; for polygamists will be honored there, and will be among the chief rulers in that Kingdom.” -LDS Apostle Orson Pratt, The Seer, vol. 1, no. 11, November 1853 (p. 172).

COMMENTARY: The way I figure it, if god doesn’t answer your prayer, it’s not that he doesn’t care. Your Heavenly Mother was probably just looking particularly divine in her Celestial Teddy right during your prayer. But what do I know? I’m just another apostate.
