At my last meeting we were asked to read over Elder J. Devn Cornish's Conference talk on The Privilege of Prayer....
(What a great talk)
There were a few passages from it that I wanted to share that I think can help all mothers and women in general get through their day...I hope you read something here that will bring peace or simply whisper a gentle reminder that all we need to do, is to remember to pray.
"Prayer is an act by which the will of the Father and the will of the child are brought into correspondence with each other."
"Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that the things that are important to us become important to Him, just because He loves us."
"Your loving Heavenly Father wants to bless you. But because He will not infringe upon our agency, we must ask for His help."
When we are struggling with something -- no matter what the issue, turn it over to the Lord,
"Then drop the matter completely, letting the lord take it from there"
Each day take the time and "Do not forget to ask the Lord to protect and be with you (and your family)"
"Sometimes we seem to get no answer to our sincere and striving prayers....but on further reflection, we will often realize that we already know full well what we should do"
and remember..."Prayer is the provider of spiritual strength; it is the passport to peace...miracles are wrought through prayer."
Finally, if you ever doubt the power that prayer can hold...step back and reflect upon the word in Matthew 7:9-11...
"If ye then know how to give good gifts unto your children....how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them to ask him?"
YOU ARE LOVED, YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
AND YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD
If you haven't read or listened to the talk in its entirety I encourage you to do so....what a simple act (prayer)...yet what great gifts it can bring into our lives.
Beautiful post ty
