I love how open you are!! It makes you so real and relatable (even though I already knew you before you did Come Follow Me Study). I have struggled with this temptation off and on. One of the best reminders for me is to think of Heavenly Father truly as my Father. I lost my earthly father when I was only 18 years old. Oh how I would love to connect with him! I can feel the same toward my Heavenly Father! Another reminder, as my children have become adults, is how much I love to hear from them. Of course my Heavenly Father wants to hear from me… any time, any reason, short “talk”, long “talk” – He loves me and wants to connect with me! Isn’t that awesome!! Your thought today has touched my soul and brought tears to my eyes! Thank you <3

Thank you for sharing! I love your perspective on the importance of making those sacrament prayers personal and powerful.

Your thoughts are so succinct, to-the-point…and powerful. You especially touched on something I’ve long thought about: do I make praying as important as it can, and should be? Is there real effort on my part to put myself in-the-spirit with HIM? I try to make partaking of the sacrament especially poignant: During my special once-a-week, brief private audience with my Heavenly Father…I pause and ponder, before ingesting the small piece of bread (broken, as was His body) and sipping the small cup of water…. I visualize the drops of His blood running down from the crown of thorns. What the sacrament represents! The sacrifice the Savior made for me. I think about the promise I have …If I qualify myself for forgiveness. President David O. McKay once told a group of young missionaries that I was part of, that “…the Sacramental prayers are the two most important prayers of all the prayers in the Church.”
