Prayer

"Little children, young people, and adults alike, please believe how very much your loving Heavenly Father wants to bless you. But because He will not infringe upon our agency, we must ask for His help. This is generally done through prayer. Prayer is one of the most precious gifts of God to man." -The Privilege of Prayer, J Devn Cornish of the 70

Years ago, when I was still new to the Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) someone said to me that Heavenly Father didn't care about silly decisions. For some reason the statement really bothered me. I worried over it for weeks. Didn't he tell us to pray always? Aren't we supposed to go to Him to feel peace and receive answers for our lives here on Earth? Why wouldn't he care? What if it matters to us in this moment? 
So I decided to that I would pray. I would pray to know if He really cared. What if a decision didn't really have an Eternal impact on our lives? Would it still matter that we go to Him for answers? 
The answer I received was a resounding YES! Of course it matters! Even if it isn't a matter of eternal importance He still cares about us and how we feel here on Earth. Pray for peace, pray for comfort, pray for answers, pray for patience, pray for silly decisions and important ones. Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to communicate with him. He wants you to know you are loved and that he is aware of your situation. 
I am grateful for His love and His peace. I am so grateful to be able to teach my children to go to Him in times of need. I would encourage you to do the same. 
Lots of Love,
