Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
As we return to God in prayer throughout the day, we keep seeking His direction before we act and asking Him to guide our efforts. What decision or responsibility could we bring to Him first today and continue discussing with Him as the day unfolds?
Scripture
“But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.”—2 Nephi 32:9
Quote
“Morning and evening prayers—and all of the prayers in between—are not unrelated, discrete events; rather, they are linked together each day and across days, weeks, months, and even years. This is in part how we fulfill the scriptural admonition to ‘pray always.'”—David A. Bednar, “Pray Always”
