I always want a better relationship with my Heavenly Father. Sometimes, though, praying feels hard for me. I don't know why exactly. It just is. A couple of years ago I heard someone explain about how she types a prayer-or writes it with pen and paper; but she writes, and then listens. It would look something like this:
Me:
Them:
Who is "them?" Well, I believe in a loving Heavenly Father. If there is a father, there must be a mother. Together they had a son who is my older brother, Jesus Christ. And there is also the Holy Ghost. Now, I pray to Heavenly Father, but in the name of Jesus Christ (using His power on my behalf) I believe that my answers come from any of these mentioned individuals, or all of them collectively. I've done this exercise a few times. I like this because it feel more personal. By writing down my prayer, and what I feel my answer is I'm able to look back on what directions, council and comfort I was given.
Heavenly Father answers prayers, but first, the prayer must be offered. Answers do come.
I learned this on accident, because I typed a prayer on purpose.
