3 Nephi 18:18-20

18 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

19 Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;

20 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you.

These scriptures are from my favorite part of the Book of Mormon, when Jesus visits the Nephites. So this is counsel directly from our Savior!

It starts with a warning, we must pray always because Satan desireth to have us! Then He encourages us to have faith in our prayer. Today as you say your prayers, think of our Savior as you read His counsel. Then pray believing that ye shall receive that which you are asking for and "behold it shall be given unto you". What a great promise from our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Love,
Sister Emett
