Routine Prayer

"Will prayers that do not demand much of your thought merit much attention from our Heavenly Father? When you find yourself getting into a routine with your prayers, step back and think. Meditate for a while on the things for which you really are grateful. Look for them. They don't have to be grand or glorious. Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice. Thinking of things we are grateful for is a healing balm. It helps us get outside ourselves. It changes our focus from our pains and our trials to the abundance of this beautiful world we live in."
--Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Improving Our Prayers," Liahona, Aug. 2004, 18

Sorry its late, but better late than never :)

I love this quote often i think we get into a routine with prayers, (i know i do) but with our prayers we need to make them sincere and not always just asking for what we need or want. We need to step back and thank our heavenly father for all we have and put all our energy of heart into that prayer. The more of our mind, body, spirit, and soul we put into that the better off we are and the more humble and grateful we become. I want us all to try our best tonight to have a very heartfelt and sincere prayer or conversation with our heavenly father and thank him dearly for all our blessings. I love you all and promise that i will be thanking him for my amazing family. With love.
