Power Of Prayer

Yesterday at fhe Katie taught a really good lesson about prayer and it wasn't until I got home last night that I realized the impact that the lesson had on me. I was not doubting the power of prayer, I know that prayer is a very powerful thing, especially since i just used it this past week with my whole BYU Idaho fiasco and heavenly father answered that prayer quickly and powerfully. But what I realized after the lesson that I do sometimes take prayer for granted. I really thought about it and I realized that I try to pray in the morning and at night before I go to bed. Unfortunately sometimes I tend to forget, usually I will just be like it's okay to miss one, but now I realize that is not true, I need to say my prayers always. Something else I realized is that I do always tend to say prayers when I need something from heavenly father, which isn't a bad thing but it definitely should not be the only prayers that I say. Katie told us that she had a challenge that for week she could only say prayers thanking heavenly father and not asking for things, I realize how hard that is, but I think I am going to try it. Her lesson really hit me yesterday. Prayer is such a powerful thing that we can so easily do, and too many of us take it for granted, prayer is something that should not be taken advantage of. Thanks Katie for such a good lesson.
