2 Nephi 32:8-9

8 And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the devil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.

9 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.

I recently lost a dear friend to cancer. As I reflect on his life, I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father. He has allowed us the opportunity to choose. We may not always choose wisely, but as we learn from our choices, we can also choose to repent, and seek forgiveness. Pray always, that you will have the Holy Ghost to guide you.

With Love, Sister Woolsey
