Pattern for Prayer

In my Book of Mormon class Sister Halverson talked about a pattern of prayer as outlined by Elder Bednar. He prays in the morning to ask Heavenly Father what he can do that day to improve himself and asks for guidance throughout the day. Then he prays in the middle of the day to give a “progress report” and seek further direction. At the end of the day he would pray to express gratitude for all his blessings and to asses the day to figure out what went well and what did not.

I tried praying like this yesterday I found that my prayers were more meaningful and I was more conscious of how I behaved throughout the day. I will use this method of prayer more often.
