Irishcolleen Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 The question on the Christian beliefs section got me questioning... What is prayer like for the LDS? FOr instance, this Saturday I was at our ladies' prayer breakfast. We shared our needs and blessings. But the we had a special time of prayer just adoring God for who He is and for His love. DO the LDS ever pray like that? Just as a time for adoring God and loving on Him? Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I'm not sure we'd ever use the terms "adoring" or "loving on", but... Yes. LDS prayers can and should include adoration and love for God. Quote
Jane_Doe Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I talk to God about everything. Last night I prayed thanking God for how wonderful my life is right now: thanking Him for the great health of my family, my awesome job, my growing learning of the Gospel. I spent several minutes just expressing hugs-and-love, because I love the Lord and am so grateful for Him and all He does. I woke up this morning, looked at my To-Do-List, and thought "Wow!! How I am I ever going to get this all done?" I then prayed for help getting it all done. Last week I was stumped on a secular work problem, and prayed for inspiration to conquer the problem, and God gave me the answer. Yesterday at church I had a Gospel question, and I prayed for His guidance on it, and He gave me direction. Lots of things to pray about! Irishcolleen and PolarVortex 2 Quote
Vort Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) "To adore" means "to worship". We do indeed worship God in prayer and in act. If you mean do we spend much time saying, "God, you are one fine specimen of Godliness! Yes, indeed! You ROCK, God!" -- then no, I don't think we do much of that.

NightSG Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I talk to God about everything. I frequently have questions for Him about the driver in front of me, but I'm not sure that counts. Quote
prisonchaplain Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 "You ROCK, God!" -- then no, I don't think we do much of that. I thought about this...and we (Pentecostals and Charismatics) do quite a bit of that. :) Irishcolleen 1 Quote
pkstpaul Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 We are often encouraged to have prayer that focuses on gratitude; to occasionally have a prayer that only expresses gratitude. Quote
