Tera's Favorite Quotes

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-
