I have no idea what I'm doing. I was encouraged to share, so here I am...sharing.
I'm currently reading The Teachings of Presidents of the Church - Spencer W Kimball published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have been a member of my church really since birth, but I was baptized when I was 8. Sometime in my early 20s I actually truly had that divining experience that made me believe it was true. In the last couple of years, I've come to LIVE that it is true.
In this book, Chapter 5 is called "Prayer, the Passport to Spiritual Power". The very first sentence encapsulates my very own thoughts from the last few years of my life..."I always have very tender feelings about prayers and the power and blessings of prayer. In my lifetime I have received more blessings than I can ever adequately give thanks for. The Lord has been so good to me. I have had so many experiences in sickness and in health that leave me with no doubt in my heart and mind that there is a God in heaven, that he is our Father, and that he hears and answers our prayers." Spencer W Kimball
Each day, I begin and end with prayer. Through prayer, I feel connected to Someone higher, stronger, wiser and more experienced than myself. And from Him, my Heavenly Father, my God, I gain strength, hope, light, peace, and joy. I only have my heart and my will to give back to Him for all that He gives to me, so that's what I give Him in prayers of Thanksgiving, night and day.
