Day 54

Prayer is more than just uttering words in a reverent manner. It's a 2-way communication with Heavenly Father. I think that's why the scriptures tell us to "always have a prayer in our hearts", meaning that we should be constantly in communication with our Heavenly Father. I love how we have been given the power to be able to talk to him, the one who created us and the world that we live in. He's given us a way to make sure that what we are trying to do is right, to ask for advice, to thank him for what he has given us.

We have been blessed with the ability to communicate with a higher being. I think Heavenly Father giving us the power of prayer goes to show how much he loves us. He didn't want us to have to come down to earth without being able to have him help us along the way. We have no idea what we're doing. He's the one who knows how everything works, how everything can work best for us. Prayer gives us that chance to feel that confirmation from him, and gives us confidence that we can continue to make it through this life the way he wants us to. Because we can talk to him whenever we want, and need to. He loves us that much.
