Prayer has power.\u00a0 <\/span>Do we understand what can really happen when we sincerely pray for one another?\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s through prayers that miracles happen.\u00a0 <\/span>Prayers bring us together as we share one purpose.\u00a0 <\/span>Prayer strengthens those who offer it as well as those who receive it.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a prayer roll in the temple.\u00a0 <\/span>We pray over individuals as well as groups of people. \u00a0<\/span>I especially love to hear us pray for the youth and the missionaries of the church, who will lead us into the next phase of this great plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

We should all have our own prayer roll.\u00a0 <\/span>Our loved ones, our home teaching\/visiting teaching families, those who are sad, hurt, suffering, poor in spirit, should all be our concern.\u00a0 <\/span>Can you imagine the power that could flow down from heaven?\u00a0 <\/span>Do you believe it?<\/span><\/p>\n

I know not all prayers are answered in the way we would like.\u00a0 <\/span>In fact, a lot of anger happens when they\u2019re not.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s easy to place blame.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s easy to feel hurt.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s easy to give up hope, when we place our hope so high.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a scary thing to contemplate, because we second guess with the what ifs all the time.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is in our personal relationship with the Lord.\u00a0 <\/span>Whatever the answer ends up being, our faith must rest on the Lord who will ultimately make us whole.\u00a0 <\/span>If we truly believe, and it doesn\u2019t work out to our expectation, our belief will sustain us through an accepting understanding that God\u2019s will can preserve us and make things right\u2026always.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have to believe in Jesus Christ\u2019s saving grace, if we are truly able to survive this earth life and all it comes with.\u00a0 <\/span>If we each have this individual conviction that our prayers are heard, and we combine this power together with others who believe, miracles will happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

For those who need this power, don\u2019t be afraid to ask people to pray for you.\u00a0 <\/span>If there is nothing friends can do for you, they can always pray.\u00a0 <\/span>Let their strength, faith, and testimony bear you up for this little while.\u00a0 <\/span>They are doing more for you, by praying, than anything else.\u00a0 <\/span>Think toward the ultimate victory\u2026and believe.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
