He Hears Us

There are billions of people on the Earth. We each face unique challenges. Most of us yearn for a personal relationship with a higher power.

But how could God possibly have time to answer all of us?

I do not know how God is able to listen to and answer each one of our heartfelt prayers, but I know that He does. I know He is all-powerful and yet all-loving. I know He wants to communicate with us individually, and He does when we take time to pray sincerely.

Prayer is certainly one of the greatest blessings He has given us. In a troubled world, isn't it wonderful to know we can find peace by talking with our Father in Heaven? Isn't it wonderful to know we can receive important instruction and direction for the personal challenges we face?

Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 reminds us to pray always—

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.

When we take time to develop a personal relationship with God, He will bless us with answers. These answers are among the most precious gifts we can obtain in this life.
