Gratitude in Prayer


Jesus declared, "and in nothing doth man offend God...save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments." (D&C 59:21)

When we contemplate the incomparable gift of prayer and the limitless blessings that flow from it, honest appreciation fills our mind and heart to overflowing with Thanksgiving. Should we not, therefore, continually and profoundly express to our beloved Father, as well as we are able, our unbounded gratitude for the supernal gift of prayer and for His answers that meet our needs while motivating us to grow?

I testify our Father will always answer your prayers in the way and in the time that will be for your best eternal good.

--Elder Richard G. Scott, "Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer" Ensign, May 2007
