This post is about prayer. Prayer is something I have struggled with my whole life. Daily prayer has never been something I have done on a regular basis. I set out with the best of intentions to say morning and evening prayers and it just doesn't happen. I don't know why.

Now I want to make one thing very clear. I could not live my life without  prayer. I have had to many life lessons that have taught me the power of prayer and that my Heavenly Father is there for me whenever I have needed him. I can testify that every time I have reached out to Him he has been there and answered my prayer. In my patriarchal blessing I am told to have a prayer in my heart always. I can honestly say I have learned to do that. If I did not have that communication every day I would not have survived the last couple of years.

Reading about Enos teaches us so much about prayer and how important it is to talk with our Father. Imagine how Enos felt to hear the words that his sins were forgiven. To know that because of his faith the records of his people would be preserved. The comfort he must have felt from those words. We can also have that comfort in our trials. We can have the sweet confirmation that all will be well.

I have started to talk with Him as I would if I were talking to my earthly father. My fears, my concerns, my gratitude. This has brought me closer to Him and I feel that He is my Father and I can talk to Him about anything. 

I share this testimony with you. Our Father in Heaven loves us and knows us. He wants to bless us but we must reach out to him in prayer.
