The Power of Prayer

      Prayer... isn't it so cool? I think it is. The power of prayer is incredible. It works too that's for dang sure! I have had miracles take place in my life through prayer. When you are making the right choices in life, it helps because then He is bound to listen and answer back. It's funny when I look back in certain situations and realize how much my Heavenly Father helped me even when I didn't recognize it at the moment. He won't ever give up on you, so don't ever give up on Him. Certain things in life take a couple tries, but you can do it. Once you do, keep praying that you can stay with it. I say that particular thing because recently, I have had a "temptation" that I would give into every now and then. I would try so hard not to give in, but I would always go back to it. After a period of time, I found that I couldn't do it alone. I prayed to my Father in Heaven. At the beginning, I would still fall into the "temptation". At that time, I felt alone. In Sunday School one week, we had a discussion about how He will never give up on us and how He will do everything He can to help us with what we need to stay on the right path or maybe even get back on track. I kept praying for help and it still took a couple tries, but I had the faith. I have now overcome it. I still pray that I will be able to stay away from my particular "temptation" and I know that with his help, I will. I have had a lot more experiences with prayer aside from this one. This was just one that stuck out in my mind that I wanted to write about in hopes that it would help someone else. I know we all have our own individual "temptations". I also know that with prayer, anything is possible. I would like to end with one of my favorite scriptures: "Be thou humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers."(DandC 112:10)

Life is Beautiful
