Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.

–President Thomas S. Monson

I was talking to my sister last night and one thing that she stressed was that I need to make sure that as a family we are reading our scriptures and praying but not only that but reading and praying on my own. It is the things that are so simple that we forget to do. I am grateful for that little reminder.
