The power of Prayer

As I was proselyting on Facebook today, I saw a lot of examples of faith being tested and prayers requested of me in others behalf.

I am so grateful to see others have faith in the power of Prayer. Prayer to me is powerful communication between us and our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ.  Doctrine and Covenants 45: 3 -8  .

Prayer  is supposed to be sincere and faith- filled, as we talk with our Heavenly Father we must be truly intending upon receiving an answer, and doing all that we can to be prepared for the answer the lord gives us.

“The trouble with most of our prayers is that we give them as if we were picking up the

telephone and ordering groceries—we place our order and hang up. We need to meditate,

contemplate, think of what we are praying about and for and then speak to the Lord as one man

speaketh to another” Gordon B. Hinckley

I know the Lord answers prayers as we "cry" to him, he has answered many of mine, I see his goodness everyday of my life. I pray that we make a stronger resolution to speak with him on a mutiple-daily basis.

                                                                    

Where can I turn for Peace ?

Some of you have asked yourself this question, time and time again, some of you may be asking this question at this very moment.

Life can be crazy, I know for me it is, sometimes we start worrying about things that are out of our control, then we try to cloud our minds with other less important tasks or we try to " Numb our problems" through disobedience and distancing ourselves from our conscience which is the Light of Christ.

I have found this Hymn has become a great comfort and reality to me.

Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When, with a wounded heart, anger, or malice
I draw myself apart searching my soul?

Where, when my aching grows?
Where, when I languish?
Where, in my need to know?
Where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand?
He, only One.

He answers privately.
Reaches my reaching.
In my Gethsemane, Savior, and friend.
Gentle, the peace He finds
For my beseeching.
Constant He is, and kind.
Love without end.

I hope this brightens your day, Remember  He, Only one, Reaches my Reaching!
