Prayer

 While serving in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Gordon B. Hinckley counseled:

“I know of no single practice that will have a more salutary effect upon your lives than the practice of kneeling together as you begin and close each day. Somehow the little storms that seem to afflict every marriage are dissipated when, kneeling before the Lord, you thank him for one another, in the presence of one another, and then together invoke his blessings upon your lives, your home, your loved ones, and your dreams.

“God then will be your partner, and your daily conversations with him will bring peace into your hearts and a joy into your lives that can come from no other source. Your companionship will sweeten through the years; your love will strengthen. Your appreciation for one another will grow” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1971, 83; or Ensign, June 1971, 72).

As Sisters in the Arlington 5th Relief Society we have been asked by our leaders to pray with our spouses and families both day and night. If you are already doing so, we rejoice with you, and ask that you take this challenge and refine what you have already implemented in your daily lives. We know that the Lord will bless each of us when we make the commitment and time to converse with Our Lord and Savior. Go forward with faith my lovely sisters.
