I needed this reminder about Prayer. It is full of scriptures, quotes and examples in answer to Prayer. I know that while I was reading this book I stopped to pray. I also wrote it in my calendar to remind me.

It reminds you what to pray for. Pray always, pray for others, pray for all your blessings, not to pray by rote but each prayer to be more meaningful. Too remember to listen for answers.

I have had many prayers answered. Some even before I was finished with the prayer. I have also said prayers in weird places, I have also fallen asleep while praying. Forgotten to say prayers.

I have tried to say a prayer just for all the things I am grateful for without asking for help of any kind. So far I need to work on that more.

I don't know of any principle that he has said is new, but it sure reminded me of things I can do to improve my communication with Heavenly Father.

I also want to go buy some length of chains for my key rings.

Interestingly enough this book came at a time when I really needed it!

I started feeling ill late one evening and before I even got into bed I knew that I was going to be up all night with the illness.

As I was praying for relief I started to read this book...an intriguing thing to be reading about prayer while praying.

It made me really think about my prayers and how I pray and what I pray for...

This book is AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL!

The author gives "31 teachings to strengthen our connection with Heaven."

Within each teaching there are "daily guides-- with insights from General Authorities, scriptures, personal experiences, and commentary, that will enrich and empower your prayers."

Many of us know that "there is no appointment necessary" for prayers...

I was so grateful for that because I was praying from about 10pm to 5am...not your standard scheduling time frame.

But do we realize that when the Lord seems to give us NO ANSWER he is really answering with "you are trusted."

"Elder Richard G. Scott teaches -- that we should express gratitude when no answers come."

Do we pray "only in times of crisis?"

Do we "allow our weaknesses to keep us from connecting with Heaven?"

Do we understand "the power of music" as a form of prayer?

How does gratitude play into prayer?

And "can one do evil with a prayer on their lips?"

SO MANY THINGS TO PONDER IN THIS BOOK!

You can read it in one night like I did...OR...You can read one chapter a day for a month.

PHENOMENAL INSIGHTS!
POWERFUL TEACHINGS!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
