“The object of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant, but that we must ask for in order to obtain.”
I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately. I am amazed at this gift that has been so generously given to every single one of us by a loving Heavenly Father and saddened by the fact that I think it is under used and by some not even used at all. I know that it is by prayer that I receive my greatest strength as a wife and a mother and that my home is protected because of prayer. My family and I have received some powerful blessings because of prayer.
My family and I need the protection that prayer offers us because Satan is real and he is trying very diligently to enter our home. Because of the promise of this one scripture… “Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work.” (Doctrine and Covenants 10:5) I know that prayer is powerful, and if it can conquer Satan and his servants, I want to be using it as often as possible.
