Prayer

“I testify that the Lord hears and answers the prayers of our hearts, just as He did for Alma and his people. We can follow His commandment to ‘pray always’ by having a continual prayer in our hearts. As prophets have taught many times in the past, you may not feel like praying or you may not know what to say, but God hears the secret prayers of your heart. The feelings of your heart and the love for our Heavenly Father and for His Beloved Son can be so constant that your prayers will ascend always.” —President Henry B. Eyring, General Conference, April 2026 

I am so grateful for prayer.  I love that we can speak directly to our Heavenly Father.  I know that He hears each and every prayer uttered to Him and answers them all.  Granted sometimes the answers are no or not yet.  But we must learn to trust Him and His timing.  For He knows all and knows what is best for us.  Even if we don't always understand it at the time.  He loves us and will always do what is in our best interest.

I'm thankful that I can pray any time and anywhere.  I'm grateful that I can have a prayer in my heart and that God hears those prayers as well.  I know that there is power in prayer.  I'm so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ who love us unconditionally.  I'm thankful for my relationship with Them.  And I'm grateful for the peace and comfort that prayer brings.

That's my two cents.
