I love to get a shot of prayer confidence from our leaders and from those who have studied the topic!  I just finished listening to “The Intimate Touch of Prayer” by Truman G. Madsen, and it was quite uplifting!  I grew up in the church, but didn’t always understand prayer.  It has only be in the last decade that it has really become important to me, I am sorry to say. 

I have come to realize the importance, and the comfort of family prayer, as well as individual prayer.  Prayer doesn’t have to last for a long time.  It can be quite short.  One can be by one’s self, or in a crowd of people.  It just doesn’t matter.  The Spirit will easily prompt and guide us in our prayers.  We just have to be willing to ask, and to listen. 

Brother Madsen points out that prayer is not like a spare tire, to be put on when needed!  It should be a daily occurrence!  Thankfully, the Lord is merciful, and will always listen to us, whether we are righteous, or trying to be righteous!  We can pray in our extremities, but most importantly, we need to pray in gratitude!  We shouldn’t use vain repetitions, but there will be repetition!  We should pray with the faith of a little child!  How sweet and how pure!  The trick is being one!  The Lord has promised us so much, if we just have faith!  We are never unworthy to pray!
 
These are just some of the things to be learned in this wonderful MP3 download, “The Intimate Touch of Prayer” by Truman Madsen!  I loved it!  It isn’t long, and can be listened to many times!  Something new pops out each time I have listened!  Prayer can help the mind become strong!  What an incredible gift to us!
