To start off this post I thought I'd share another video by BYU Vocal Point. They're just so good that I can't resist guys. Here's the link. Click away. It's super good I promise....
https://youtu.be/WyxXGdG3-Io When I hear the phrase/song "Nearer my God to thee" I think of Prayer. I mean, that is how we approach our Father in heaven right? For me, prayer is huge. That is immediately what I turn to when I'm stressed, upset, discouraged, etc. Or even when I'm content and happy. It's so important to thank Heavenly Father for our blessings. I'm not the absolute best at doing that, but it is something I need to work on. It can be so easy to think "I wish I had this..., I wish this situation was different..., I wish... etc. etc. I get so frustrated with myself sometimes because I say those things a lot haha. But anyways, in situations like this I always go to prayer. Even simply asking how you can better recognize and count your blessings could change your mindset so much. I've been trying to do that and I have noticed my prayers being answered in that way! I think prayer is such a beautiful thing. They don't need to be structured and Heavenly Father doesn't care how clumsy or awkward you think your prayers sound. He just wants to hear from you. He wants to how how your day went even though he already knows your struggles and worries. He wants us to turn to him for help. This post might have to be short and sweet for me to be able to get this up at a decent time so I'll just end with my testimony:)... I love prayer. It is my anchor in life. I am so grateful for it. I know that if we even say simple prayers in our minds throughout the day (which I do haha) then they will make all the difference. They don't always have to be super long. I am so grateful that our prayers are answered. Even though they sometimes aren't answered when we want them to be. Here's a couple quotes on prayer I love... "Satan tries to limit your praying because he knows your praying will limit him." "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" "If life gets too hard to stand... Kneel." -Gordon B. Hinckley "Prayer is your personal key to heaven." -Boyd K. Packer Have a great week. Ness

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
