Prayer

By Elder David A. Bednar
“Simply stated, prayer is communication to Heavenly Father from His sons and daughters on earth. ‘As soon as we learn the true relationship in which we stand toward God (namely, God is our Father, and we are his children), then at once prayer becomes natural and instinctive on our part’ (Bible Dictionary, “Prayer,” 752).
“We are commanded to pray always to the Father in the name of the Son (see 3 Nephi 18:19–20). We are promised that if we pray sincerely for that which is right and good and in accordance with God’s will, we can be blessed, protected, and directed (see 3 Nephi 18:20; D&C 19:38).”
