General Conference.

So the first weekend in April and October of every year is a very exciting time for members of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. This is where the prophets and apostles of today, our time teach us and encourage us. As they testify of Christ I know you will feel the spirit. This is such an important time for people as a modern day Moses tells us what Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ wants us to hear. If God is going to be giving a talk I want to be there, and so I will! It is sad though that for a few people in the church to view this as a Sunday that we can sleep in and we don’t have to go to church. Oh how wrong that "day-off" mentality is. As we do this we become like the people of old who did not respect the prophets of their time, it never worked out well for them and it won’t work out for us! If we want to know what God expects of us then we for sure need to listen up when he sends someone to answer that very question. I know I have not always treated conference as I should and I regret those times very much, but I have applied the atonement and have repented! The coolest thing about conference is that if we come with questions we are guaranteed that at least one of the speakers will touch on the subject we need to hear and we will gain answers! That’s just so awesome! I hope you enjoy General Conference as much as I do!

Prayer.



PRAY OFTEN!



What is Prayer? Well to me, it is when we humble ourselves before God to seek Him out. We go to Him to thank Him for the many things we have, we seek for blessings for our loved ones, we ask questions that may be troubling us, we seek for help in our daily lives, and we repent of our sins and shortcomings. But one of the most important elements of prayer is not what we say, but the answers we receive through the Spirit. Prayer is a very beautiful thing, we kneel and speak to our Heavenly Father, and He the Creator of all things , the Most high, The Supreme Being, Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and the End, etc. listens to those words, but not only that He Answers. He takes the time to do so for all the many children that He has.  I think prayer is one of the most simple and rewarding things that we have been blessed with. It is also the most successful but neglected. Whenever I have a problem in my life that seems insurmountable, if I will but pray and ask for assistance, I feel peace come to me. I may not know what to do to overcome the hurdle but the peace comes that helps me to take one step at a time, with faith that it will all work out. I hereby make my stand that I will pray more, listen more, and apply those things that I learn while praying, I encourage you to do the same!
