Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Words by James Montgomery (1771-1854); Music by Sally DeFord
Performed by Allyse Smith Taylor
Piano and arrangement by Marvin Goldstein
Violin by April Moriarty
"Prayer, for the most part, is our urgent speaking to God. We have a lot on our minds. We have a lot in our hearts. We have many needs and wants and wishes. My prayers are sometimes filled almost completely with a laundry list of requests. In such urgent need there is a temptation not to listen before and during and after our spoken prayers. Too seldom do we prepare to pray, too seldom do we quietly reflect after our prayers. These are the times for reverent meditation...to allow our minds and our hearts to communicate clearly..."
Jeffrey R. Holland

It is beautiful and so true. Our Heavenly Father did not leave us here on earth as orphans. We can talk to Him any time and anywhere. It is so wonderful to feel His love when we pray.
