1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
These scriptures remind of the many children in the world, that are hungry. If only, they and their parents knew to pray.
How often have you been hungry? not just for food, but for love, friends, companionship? What are you asking for in your prayers?
Our Father in Heaven wants us to be happy in all things. All he asks of us is 1. repent, 2. forgive, 3. knock and 4. ask.
If you struggle with how/what to pray for, here is something that may help.
1. Call upon Our Father in Heaven.
2. Tell him everything you are thankful for.
3. Tell him your troubles, ask for help with them.
4. Close in the name of Jesus Christ.
Remember to call "home" often, your father is always anxious to hear from you.
With Love, Sister Woolsey
