First rule of diplomacy is that you keep an open dialogue with your enemies as well as your friends. Well, they say “the natural man is an enemy to God.”

One is that I know I can talk to Him about ANYTHING like no one else. He knows my situations better then anyone. So, though it's hard to talk to Him is some ways, in others it's easier then talking to anyone else:) Yeah, prayer is hard in those ways/ I’ve had the same struggles, but I also have good reasons to look forward to talking to my Heavenly Father.

I’m wondering if anyone can get me in touch with Bret that commented about the first discussion in ebonics (February 7th). I’m a writer for BYU’s 100 Hour Board (theboard.byu.edu) and we had a question about that. Is there any way I can get a copy of it ASAP? Please email me at lavishable at gmail dot com.

I liked the line: “If in my feeble attempts to say a Rosary, I manage just one or two heartfelt Hail Marys, that’s far better than if I hadn’t tried at all” I guess I should feel the same. If one little thing in my prayers is heartfelt then it certainly is better than not praying at all. Brad Haas, thanks for the link, I enjoyed the perspective.

If for no other reason, we pray simply to give thanks each day for each blessing in our lives, we should remember to pray. I'm really lousy at it myself but I keep trying.

I hope you find something in it to enrich your prayer life.

I have it on good authority that every one of President Hinckley's meal prayers are as follows: "DHF, we are grateful for this food and we ask Thee to please bless it. ITNOJC, amen." If you're sincere every time, I see no problem with repetition. Repitition, shmepitition.
