Prayer

Learning to communicate with God is a lot of work but very rewarding. It took years of kneeling and talking before I felt like it was a two way conversation. Communication with anyone takes practice, diligence, and a willingness to keep trying even when I feel I'm not connecting very well.

I like David Bednar’s thoughts about prayer. 

-Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all our doings 

-Prayer becomes more meaningful as we express heartfelt gratitude.

-Prayer becomes more meaningful as we pray for others with real intent and a sincere heart.

“Your prayer can take many forms. It can be sung in a hymn, or whispered, or even thought. It can be as short as one word—’help!’—or it could be as long as Enos’s prayer that lasted all night and all day.

 

“The important thing to remember is to pray often, talk to Heavenly Father, seek his counsel so that he can guide you. When you draw near to Heavenly Father in prayer, he will draw near to you. You need never feel alone again.”    Dwan J. Young
