The Power of Gratitude in Prayer
Elder David A. Bednar challenges us to change our focus during prayer. In a world where it is easy to become preoccupied with our own wants and needs, he urges us to occasionally set aside our requests and simply express gratitude. This shift moves our hearts from self-centered requests to a greater appreciation for the blessings we have already received and has the power to change our lives.
Being grateful allows the Holy Ghost to teach us things we might not have considered. It serves as a reminder that prayer’s greatest strength is found in humbly acknowledging the goodness and grace in our lives, rather than in making demands. Prayerful gratitude has the power to open our hearts and minds.
