FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"I wonder if we can ever really fathom the immense power of prayer until we encounter an overpowering, urgent problem and realize that we are powerless to resolve it. Then we will turn to our Father in humble recognition of our total dependence on Him. It helps to find a secluded place where our feelings can be vocally expressed as long and as intensely as necessary" (Richard G. Scott, "Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer," Ensign, May 2008, 8).


"As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt; the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging" (Neal A. Maxwell, "Remember How Merciful the Lord Hath Been," Ensign, May 2004, 46).
