Empty Room...maybe God....Who are You Talking to?

What makes a prayer, a prayer?  How do we know God is There?


The past few days this concern has come up a few times as I have talked with people.  What makes the difference from kneeling down and talking to an empty room and feeling totally awkward; to being on your knees conversing with Heavenly Father and feeling His love?

The answer that brings me comfort while I pray is found in 3 Nephi 14:9-11 ...

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


When we remember our true relationship with our Heavenly Father, which is Father and child...Our Prayers won't be just words fillin' space in an empty room, but a heart to heart with our Father.

On your knees...
Open Heart...
Address Him (Our Heavenly Father)...
Pour out your soul...
Close in Christ's name..
FEEL HEAVENLY FATHER'S LOVE!!!

  1. It is so wonderful to know that Heavenly Father loves us and hears our prayers. Even when we don't realize we are praying, he hears and answers our prayers. We are so blessed!
