In my personal scripture study, I came across Helaman 4:15 "And it came to pass that they did repent, and inasmuch as they did repent they did begin to prosper."
We know that we are blessed for our obedience to God's commandments. We also know that some of those blessings are material and that God has commanded us to repent. Repentance is mostly just changing for the better, refraining from a habitual sin, or starting to keep a commandment. And when we start keeping commandments and stop breaking them, God often blesses us for doing so.
I don't know what challenges are in your life or what blessings you need right now, but I do know that one way to persuade God to grant you those blessings and help you overcome those challenges is to do your best to keep His commandments. None of us is perfect. We each have sins that we commit and commandments that we break. If we repent of those sins and keep those commandments, or at least try to, that may help to show God that we are worthy of the blessings that will help us prosper. It worked for the Nephites. It can work for us, too.
