Prayer

For my D&C class I am supposed to do a lesson on something that stuck out to me from one of my readings. I was reading from D&C 19:38 "Pray always, and I will pour out my Spirit upon you, and great shall be your blessing-- yea, even more than if you should obtain treasure of earth and corruptibleness to the extent thereof." Prayer has been on my mind a lot lately, and I have had a hard time throughout my life remembering to pray always. Like this scripture states. There are times here and there that I have been praying, like when I need something or when something goes wrong or as cue in my life then I feel down and then I turn to Heavenly Father. I set a goal at the beginning of this week to pray in the morning and pray in the evening. And thus far I have been doing it. I have had it in my mindset throughout this whole week. I even when I started my prayer I asked Heavenly Father to help me to remember to pray. And I have felt so much better. I am thankful for answered prayers, I am thankful to have his spirit there to lead me and guide me. You know, I have felt such a difference, I have felt like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. So if you are going through a hard time, think of one of my favorite hymns, "Did you think to Pray?"
