“Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work."
-D&C 10:5
When I was a little girl I watched a program on tv that spoke about a light in a bush that later resulted in an old lady having her jewelry stolen. As an adult I can think back on that show and realize just how hokey and innocent it was, but as a child it was truly terrifying to me. That night as I went to sleep my imagination got the best of me and I was terrified of the street lights I could see outside my window. I prayed for safety and protection from that fear.
As I grew so did my prayers. Over the years I have prayed to not be lonely, I've prayed for sick and wayward loved ones. My prayers have been for my husband and children as well as complete strangers. I have prayed for angels and for miracles. Many of those prayers have been answered the way I wanted and many have not, but I can't think of one prayer that has gone unanswered if I am willing to wait for God's timing. I am so grateful to know that I have a Father in Heaven who will listen and answer the prayers of his daughter. I feel blessed to know that I can turn to him in prayer!
I am thankful for prayer!
