I thought I would share...
Matthew 18:20
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there I am in the midst of them."
Isn't this picture the cutest thing.It just totally made me smile.
And it got me thinking and pondering "Prayer"...
I personally have such a strong testimony of the power of prayer. Many times in my life I have had to go directly to my Heavenly Father and rely on him for peace and strength.
Abraham Lincoln said, "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."
"Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life."
"Prayer is the key of the morning and bolt of the evening."
"Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth;
help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart."
"A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing."

"He [the Lord] will always hear your prayers and will invariably answer them. However, His answers will seldom come while you are on your knees praying, even when you may plead for an immediate response. Rather, He will prompt you in quiet moments when the Spirit can most effectively touch your mind and heart. Hence, you should find periods of quiet time to recognize when you are being instructed and strengthened."

"It matters not our circumstance, be we humble or arrogant, poor or rich, free or enslaved, learned or ignorant, loved or forsaken, we can address Him. We need no appointment. Our solicitation can be brief or can occupy all the time needed. It can be an extended expression of love and gratitude or an urgent plea for help. He has created numberless cosmos and populated them with worlds, yet you and I can talk with Him personally, and He will ever answer."

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
