Prayer..‏

Well I wish I could give you better advice about prayer but the only advice I can really give comes from James 1:5-6 and Moroni 10:3-5 and..

2 Nephi 32: 3
Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

And from my own understanding is that of asking the Lord specific questions, yes or no questions. We tell our investigators all the time that it is good to ask for direction, but better to ask for specific direction.. If you want to get a brand new blue hummer, you wouldn't simply ask for a "vehicle" at the dealership.. because then you might get anything and any color.. even if you say you want a hummer, you could get one of any other color than what you really wanted... but if you ask for a blue hummer, you'll get a blue hummer... I don't know if that helps much but the last thoughts come from a recent zone meeting that we had about prayer... First of all, if you want to learn about real sacred prayer, read an article in the august 2009 Ensign by elder Kikuchi, on page 16 i think I cant remember the title but it is called something like Your own sacred grove or something.. read that..

And then the 7 steps to prayer that we learn from Joseph Smith in Joseph Smith History 1:10-17

I bet you can find you're own in there, but determination is more than just one step, it is at least to.. determination to ask and ask, and determination to find out.. If you prayerfully read that I know you can find your own sacred grove in which you will receive powerful and direct revelation! I have done it and know that it works so find a time to do it, each and everyday that you can! I hope this helps! I love and miss you guys! Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging emails!

Love Ange.
