    Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened.
    That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of.
    As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, "...but... I'm sleeping. I'm not sure I know how to get up from a dream!" He told me "if you don't get up now, you'll forget it in the morning." I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me.
    I've sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer! #mylittleprayer #prayer #christmas

      Hi Alexander, go to Mormon.org and you will find CHRIST videos. Hope you will find the time to review. There is a beautiful song, 'A Child's prayer' where Jesus is included. Also, David Archuleta has traditional Christmas songs of Jesus on TH-cam sung beautifully. GOD bless you!

      There’s times we fall short of the glory of God I respect his decisions there’s times I wanted to put my faith away and from God but i started going back to church sundays take the sacraments I’m grateful that God touched my heart to go back to church. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.

    Sinceramente no creo que llegues a leer esto, pero hace 4 dias cumpli 7 años desde que volvi a casa dee mi misión, y aun puedo sentarme en mi cama por las mañanas cerrar los ojos, escuchar esta canción y sentirme en mi ultima area, se que has estado teniendo una transición entre lo que creias y sientes, no es nada facil, te he visto despotricar a la fe que amo, pero por mas que intento no puedo enojarme contigo, no se como te sentiste pero supongo que no fue bonito para ti, tampoco se quien te dijo que no eras bienvenido por lo que sientes o por quien eres, pero solo te puedo decir que cosas que has hecho en el pasado como esta canción dan fe de que en algun momento supiste que El estaba ahi viendote y amandote, no cambies, sigue sintiendo, pero no dejes de hacer cosas como esta para inspirar a los demas, te deseo lo mejor del mundo, y no se si este bien decirte esto pero, siempre seras bienvenido, un abrazo

He made the ultimate sacrifice so you me, and everyone else wouldn't have to go to hell and suffer for eternity

      Emeralds, I am gonna place before you what was said to me in a LOGIC class I took in college when asked for proof of God's existence, "Lack of proof does not mean lack of existence." That happens to be something that is called a logical fallacy, that lack of proof means lack of existence, it goes both ways. Therefore I take my faith personally and let others do the same. I believe in God, a higher power, and care not what he is called, merely that he is and I will face the consequences of my belief or lack thereof when I exit this existence. Like many others, I would rather believe and act as if there is a god and be proven wrong, then act as if there is no god and be proven wrong.

    My Dad listened to this at Christmas time and said when he served in the war it didn't matter what the individuals beliefs were, If their lives where in danger, every one of them prayed. I am drawn to listen to this song because it reminds me that my relationship with God is meaningful. That I am loved and need to pray not because I have a difficult time at this moment in my life, but because I want to develop my faith and know God's plan for me. Then if I ever really do need him I will know his comfort and presence in my life.

    David Archuleta, I am so inspired by your revelation. This morning I woke up with one of my own. Here are 3 more verses to your song:
    Heavenly Father I am longing
    to know my sacred purpose.
    I am yearning for a family
    to be with me for all time.
    Sometimes they'll turn away
    and I know my heart will break
    but then I'll put it in your hands
    and you'll make it whole again.
    Heavenly Father I am hoping
    to be with those who truly love me.
    Forever. Yes Forever. For a time without end.
    I'm learning every day
    that I won't always have my way.
    But thy power is so great
    and family is thy plan.
    Heavenly Father I am faithful
    Lord help thou my unbelief
    I need a family filled with love
    a type of things in heaven above.
    There are answers we'll receive
    as we gather on our knees
    Send our prayer up to thee
    from our little family.
    You show us you hear our prayer
    I'm amazed by how you care
    for my little family's prayer.

      "Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened.
      That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of.
      As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, “…but… I’m sleeping. I’m not sure I know how to get up from a dream!” He told me “if you don’t get up now, you’ll forget it in the morning.” I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me.
      I’ve sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer!"

I couldn't sleep last night, I prayed for a long time and it feels like there's really someone who listen to me..I was crying to God. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing hope. Thank you for this song David, I am learning to be patient, and I will keep this thought in my heart "don't despair God is always with you." I also said in my prayer last night, that I am thankful for having a friend who always remind me the importance of prayer..

    Lyrics:
    Heavenly Father, I am grateful
    For your eternal presence
    I am learning to be patient
    And that you are really there
    Sometimes I am afraid
    And I know that's lacking faith
    But I'm beginning to understand
    That for me you have a plan
    Heavenly Father, I am grateful
    For you sending your son
    To die so that I live
    And for never giving up
    I'm learning every day
    That I won't always have my way
    But I'm beginning to understand
    That for me you have a plan
    Ooh
    Heavenly Father, I am grateful
    For you hearing my prayer
    I am learning to be patient
    And that you are really there
    There are answers I receive
    No they're not always immediate
    Sometimes I have felt defeated
    That's when I kneel down in prayer
    You show me you hear my prayer
    I'm amazed by how you care
    'Cause you hear my little prayer

    David has the ability to be extremely famous, he is very skilled. Instead he chose to use the fame he does have to share the love of God. What an amazing choice and an inspiration to me. Stay strong David. God bless you! I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of our Savior Jesus Christ! I invite you all to learn more and search out for yourself if what I testify is true!

    I remember the first time I heard this song, I was having a really rough day. This video came up in my recommendations, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear that day. I love it still, and it always reminds me that, while we don't always understand why things happen the way they do, we can put trust in our Heavenly Father. He loves us and has a plan for us, and He knows and understands YOU, reader. He's always there to help and to listen, and even when the answers don't come when we want them to, He'll help us to hold on until the skies get clearer:) I've definitely seen this in my life, and I know it's true. Thanks again, David! Truly inspired ❤

I have been struggling on moving on with my life this past little while...but this gave me hope because he has a plan for me and this song really testified of that simple truth. Thank you for writing it down. It is so meaningful in my life 😊😊

    • @liahonagirl
      @liahonagirl 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Sister Boyd, your comment touched me. I was also an early return from my mission almost 20 years ago, and something that I've learned from our Father is this: your service, if given with your whole heart (and I have every reason to believe yours was), it was enough, no matter how long you were able to be 'in the field'. What matters now is what you do next. How will you serve Him the rest of your life? Keep on keeping on, Sister! We are both beloved daughters of a Heavenly Father who not only loves us, but KNOWS our hearts and our desires to serve Him. Though His plan for our lives might not be what we had envisioned when we put on the name tag, we are no less serviceable to Him even after taking off the tag! ♥

    I had absolutely no idea about the story behind this song.
    All I know is that no song has hit me this hard since I was a young child in primary hanging on to hope in life with the song, "A Child's Prayer".
    When my three oldest kids visit every other weekend, I sing to them to put them to sleep. they each have their own lullaby that I wrote when they were born. Then I do some quiet church songs.
    For the last two years, we've listened to this song as part of that routine, almost every night.
    I cannot tell you the amount of times I have found myself in tears during hard times, using the words of this song to guide my heart to open up and reach my Heavenly Father.
    Thank you for waking up. I believe you woke many of us up in our own darkness as well.
    Thanks to you, I found another flicker of light to guide me Home. 🙏

      I thing there are more people who receive these revelations, it's just that they don't have the platform for sharing them. If they say anything at work or even in front of their friends then they are likely to be laughed at. It is hard being a spiritual person in the twenty-first century.

      @emeralds222 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Living a life of delusion is not an attribute, but a hindrance. Try this: Pray to Jesus to please speak to you audibly creating sound that your eardrums pick up. In this prayer, please ask him to tell you that he is real.
      You may be irritated that I write this but ask yourself why? Is it because I dare to question this religion you are pushing? If you were an adult, you would test your beliefs with honesty.
      I know the outcome of this prayer I am asking you to do. You will not get a response back. Why? Because this "Jesus" and "God" that you believe in ARE NOT REAL. Now go forth and teach your children to pray to an invisible friend and teach them that this invisible friend created them, loves them and makes everything possible. THEN ASK YOURSELF who are the false preachers who are like sheep in wolves clothing?
      It is CHILD ABUSE to lie to your children with things you do not know as fact especially on something you are asking them to wrap their entire lives around. Why even send them to school at all? You could just tell them that the only thing they will ever need in life is "God's" love right? Spend all of your hard earn money at the church... you know you will never see a penny of it again. And the next time you place your dollars in the offering plate, think about how you will explain to your children, how you will not be able to afford their college education because you gave it all... to this "God" that does not answer you.... EVER.

      He told us in his concert that we recently attended that he had a dream in which she was praying and as he was talking to God the chords of the song we're being played. He was told to write down the words and the music immediately. He woke up and went straight to his piano and wrote this song and the words. That was the back story that he gave us and the reason why I thought it was especially touching.

Oh my, i'd rather listen to music like than some of those songs coming out today all bout the same old things: fame, sex, money
    all comin from those fame obsessed artist stripping down to get famous, ad you dont know why they are popular i mean, they are not even close to inspiring,motivating, and helping to those people who badly needs great songs coming from great artist like David. They dont even deserve to be called an artist or musician. they are just out there for money, and fame. they dont inspire or help other people through the music that they produce. i just feel bad for those underrated artist like him for being unnoticed and unappreciated by most people.

I am from the same faith background as you, though have not had the same struggles as you nor Can I even begin to comprehend how you have felt. I hope you are feeling the love and acceptance of many both in and out of your faith community… we all have much to learn about loving those who “sin differently than we do” … because we ALL sin one way or another. We are all just trying to find our path back to Heavenly Father thru His Son. You are loved by Him, by Them. Don’t give up on your faith… and thank you for this beautiful song. It is my new favorite!! #LightTheWorld

I hope you can read this too and as President Holland mentioned, you are never too far to return, and you are always welcome at Christ's table with open arms. Don't listen to people who have been fallen since the fall of Adam, people are imperfect. But Christ is perfect and what you feel and how you feel is between you and Him, no one else. Know that you are loved!

      That calm you feel is the power of the Holy Spirit telling you God Loves you. It testifies of the things of God. When you listen to the lyrics and feel that peace, that is the Spirirt saying yes, Jesus did die for you. Yes, he answers prayers.
      Eternal presence
      Learning to be patient, he is really there
      Afraid, is lacking faith
      You begin to understand he has a plan for you.
      You are learning gratitude for Father sending his son so you and I may live. He never gives up on you.
      While it's true you won't always have your way. But for you Father has a plan. I know it to be true.
      He hears your prayers.
      He is really there for you.
      You don't always get the answers you want when you pray. Be patient brother. Sometimes the answers aren't immediate, but they are always answered. It isnt to turn his will to yours but you to him.
      He cares. He hears your little prayers.
      Love you brother, but God Loves you more. He sent his Son for you.

    God has a divine plan for each one of us. Sometimes we cannot see what that plan is. Our vision is so limited. We see through a glass darkly. This Earth life is just a split second in the grand eternal plan. We lived before, we will live again. Jesus Christ has descended below every pain and trial we have ever experienced. God never forsakes us. Even when we lose sight of his plan for us and turn our backs on God he continues to have his hand outstretched. His love is unending and his light is in all things and through all things. We all go through trials and hardships that are heart-wrenching. Many things we simply cannot understand. This is all part of the plan that our heavenly father has for us. This is part of the grand school of life. Remember that this life is just a blink of eternity. Hold fast. Endure to the end. Stay true to the light and love that God has given us. You don't have to understand everything. Trust in Him. Do not turn your back on him as so many are now. Do not lose hope. He is the only one who truly understands what we are all going through. He will fill your soul with immeasurable piece and joy. God is merciful and forgiving. There is nothing that we have done that the redemption of Christ cannot heal us from. We are not meant to understand everything. This life we are all to walk by faith. That is part of our eternal journey of progression. We must go through sorrow in order to fully appreciate the joy that awaits. Don't give up. Keep pressing forward in faith.

      Everything you said is inspirational and true, yet one thing I’ll mildly alter:
      We are not meant to understand everything…yet. 😊

    This is the purpose of prayer and Gods relationship with us.
    Prayer doesn't get God to answer yes to every prayer.
    Prayer is about getting God. God is enough even if he says no (this is an answered prayer).
