3 Nephi 20-26 | October 12-18 Lesson 40—October 11 “Ye Are the Children of the Covenant” #covenants #prayer #scriptures #BookofMormon How can you make prayer more meaningful? Why are you a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? In the first verse of 3 Nephi 20, we learn about prayer and how often to pray. It’s interesting that Jesus tells everyone to “cease to pray” but that they “should not cease to pray in their hearts.” Are you praying all the time in your heart? However, we shouldn’t define prayer in one way. We should order from the full prayer menu, meaning we should continually pray in our hearts but also find time to kneel and offer a spoken prayer to God. In 3 Nephi 21, we learn that the Book of Mormon is necessary as a prelude to the final gathering. President Russell M. Nelson promises us that as we prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, we’ll make better decisions every day. Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. Know that by reading the Book of Mormon, you open the door to Jesus and allow His spirit to flow more freely through you. Through the power of scriptures, you can have the power of the spirit with you. What differences have you noticed in your life when you’re consistently reading the Book of Mormon? In what ways have you been able to make prayer more meaningful in your life?
