Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are in general a very thankful people. Our prayers offered multiple times a day always include detailed expressions of gratitude for God's blessings in our daily life. We have been promised by the Lord that nothing will be withheld that is for our good, if we live a life of righteousness. Even though our search for righteousness is far from complete, the Lord honors our requests as long as we are working on improving ourselves and our abilities to serve our fellowmen.
We teach our children to pray even when their vocabulary is severely limited and encourage them to enjoy the benefits of prayer throughout their life. Ask any Mormon about the power of prayer and you will discover just what I am attempting to say. Prayer is real and prayer is powerful.
Here are some examples of what I am sharing.
In the Spirit of Thanksgiving
If you don't pray regularly or at all, try getting on your knees, address your remarks to God, and express your gratitude as the people in this video; only make these expressing to God and then ask God for those personal things you need at the time of your pray. You can pray for other people, your employment, your education, your fears and concerns. There are no limits to want God wants to hear from you. Try it. You'll love the feeling that comes over your as you conclude your conversation with God.
