Prayer
Today I learned that Prayer is a powerful thing.
Last night Scott asked me to give our family prayer but I did not feel like I would say a good prayer, so I did what any teenager would do and said, "I don't really want to could you say it?" The moment I said it I felt guilty I even said it so I told him I woudl pray. I did not know what to pray for. I did not want to make it like every other prayer that I said, you know, the typical "bless my family, bless that we have a good day tomorrow" and so on. I just felt inadequate, but I started to pray because Scott asked me to. by the end of the prayer I was deeply amazed at all of the beautiful things I had said. I know that through the spirit I was able to say those things. In the scrpiture found in Ether 12:27 Moroni talked about the Lord making weak things so that they can become strong. Although I felt weak and unable to give a worthy prayer unto Heavenly Father, I went and prayed anyway, and I believe I was truely helped by the Holy Ghost as to what I should say. I think that was meant for me more than anyone else. Maybe I did not have to say what I said in the prayer (I could not tell you what I prayed about last night) but I just had to recognize how important prayer is. Because I prayed last night I remembered how important prayer is in my life. I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who listens and who blesses me.
