It is well to know that prayer is not compounded of words, words that may fail to express what one desires to say, words that so often cloak inconsistencies, words that may have not deeper source than the physical organs of speech, words that may be spoken to impress mortal ears. The dumb may pray, and that too with the eloquence that prevails in heaven. Prayer is made upon heart throbs and the righteous yearnings of the soul, of supplication and pure desire. If there lives a man who has never really prayed, that man is a being apart from the order of the divine in human nature, a stranger in the family of God's creation...God without our prayers would be God; but we without prayer cannot be admitted into the kingdom of God.

-James E. Talmage-

God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us. He does not have to deal with us in the mass. You are as much alone with Him as if you were the only being He had ever created. when Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only man (or woman) in the world.

-C.S. Lewis-

Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stand the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sue as the anchor of our immortal souls.

-Gordon B. Hinckley-

Prayer: Don't give God instructions--just report for duty.

The time is coming when no man or woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have be guided by the light within himself. If we do no have it, you will not stand.

-Heber C. Kimball-

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is...You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down.

-C.S. Lewis-

The Lord will try us until He knows what He can do with us. He tried His Son Jesus. Thousands of years before He came upon the earth the Father had watched His course and knew that He could depend upon Him when the salvation of worlds should be at stake...He will continue to try us, in order that He might place us in the highest positions in life and put upon us the most sacred responsibilities.
