Prayer

I listened to Elder Scott’s talk on prayer several times while running around downtown this morning on several work-related errands. It’s amazing how much insight there is to be gained over time about something as simple-seeming as prayer. It seems like these basic principles that are principles of action, like prayer and scripture study, are the principles that there is more to learn about than any other—but it’s the type of learning that can only come with experience. Only experience with prayer can help me come to know my Father and develop a rich and deep relationship with Him—no amount of studying can do that.

"If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye *do* them." I know He's right, and it's been true to my life: no amount of study can take the place of actually experimenting on His Word, and trusting that if I do what He would have me do, I'll be a happier woman. I *am* happy when I follow promptings and act on that trust, and it brings so much peace to know that I'll have that mechanism for happiness for the rest of my life, as I stay close to the Lord and His church.
