For this part of the practicum, I chose the topic of
prayer. It is a topic that I dearly love
and firmly believe in, however it is allow an area that I often fall short
in. I think that I have done well
praying always, by keeping a prayer in my heart. I will often find myself talking with
Heavenly Father about my day as I am walking or driving in my car, however I am
not very consistent with my morning and evening prayers. In addition to the lack of consistency, these
prayers tend to be shallower.
I have often heard it said that if there is a gospel
principle that you are having difficulties following, it is because there is
something that you do not understand or at least understand with your
heart. So I decided to first go on a
hunt for understanding. I read several talks and I emailed my best friend who
is on her mission. She has always been
fantastic with her prayers and I wanted to see what her understanding and
practice of prayers is.
Through gathering all of this information and then trying to
implement the different tools into my prayers I have definitely seen a
difference. My prayers are not as
shallow and I am excited to get on my knees each morning and night. The ability that we have to directly
communicate with God is a wonderful gift and I am so glad that I have become
better and implementing into my life.
