Thoughts on Prayer

Silent or spoken, God hears all prayers. Full of faith or hesitant, God welcomes all prayers. Children and adults alike can pray to the Lord about what they care about. We get to know God and trust Him through the conversations we have with God through prayer! Families and groups of people are united through prayer. Jesus Christ set the example for us. Everyone, even He, can and should pray.

What should we pray about? Everything! One of the songs I like says,
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
(Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire. Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 145).

Everything in life that we sigh over, that we cry over, or that we need outside help on is something that we can pray about. More than that, we can thank God for what makes us happy, laugh, or proud. If we pray, God hears and answers. Remember, He's our Heavenly Father and He wants to stay in close touch with us, His children.

Champion good! Stay in touch with prayer!
