"Ye Would Know That Ye Must Pray"

In the Book of Mormon, there is a verse that says, "For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray" (2 Nephi 32:8).

Today we as a family discussed a decision regarding our travel plans for the next week. We were nervous about the situation because the issue at hand came rather suddenly. We discussed both sides of the issue, and realized we needed to make a decision very soon. My mother had the idea to pray for guidance and confirmation for our decision. I was reminded of the aforementioned verse.

We prayed, and felt that after all is said and done, everything would be okay. We felt at peace with our decision to leave earlier than we planned, and started to make arrangements for that change. I truly believe, and am very grateful for the fact, that God hears and answers every sincere and heartfelt prayer given by every individual and family.
