Kahalu'u Ward Message 5/25/25

There is an hour of peace and rest, unmarred by earthly care:

“Tis when before the Lord I go, and kneel in secret prayer.

May my heart be turned to pray. Pray in secret day by day.

That this boon to mortals giv’n may unite my soul with heav’n.

“And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?” 1 Nephi 15:8

This simple, yet profound question has meaning for every child of God. It Is through prayer that

we receive comfort in times of sorrow and loss, answers to life’s puzzling and often painful

dilemmas and courage to face challenges that would be otherwise overwhelming and

insurmountable, and the priceless gift of a testimony of our Savior’s love and of the precious

truths of His gospel.

At times we may wonder whether He is there and listening. The poignant question is echoed in

a beloved Primary song, and it carries with it a resounding answer, Yes, He is there. The Savior

reassures us of this eternal truth. “Pray always, and I will pour out my spirit unto you, and great

shall be your blessing- yea, even more than if you should obtain treasures of earth”

(D&C 19:38).

Is there any prayer too trivial, too insignificant? The prophet Alma admonishes us to “call upon

his holy name” at all times and for all things - morning, mid-day, and evening prayers for the

successful daily operation of our households, for protection from our enemies and the

adversary; for prosperity in our professions and occupations; for well-being for ourselves, our

families, and our friends; and for mercy for our wrongdoings and shortcomings (see Alma 34-

17-27). The power of prayer should never be underestimated. And the sweet assurance found in

D&C 112:10 is a promise that all - men, women, and children alike - can claim: “Be thou

humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy

prayers”.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland reminds us that in answer to our earnest and heartfelt prayers, the Holy

Ghost will reveal to both our minds and our hearts the reassuring and reasonable answers from

our Heavenly Father.

My Dear Heavenly Father, I will not ask for anything today, but to simply say, with a most

grateful heart…“Thank you for all that I have”. Even in his name, Jesus the Christ, Amen.
