A Lesson

Last week I taught a lesson on prayer to the 12-13 year old young women. The girls and I talked a lot about the length of our prayers and how Enos prayed all day and night, and I challenged them to try during the week to lengthen out their prayers and to try to remain in prayer for 20 minutes once during the week.

They all looked at me like I was crazy, but today I found out all of them except one had done it. I was so proud of them!

Then I asked if any of them wanted to share their experience, and they all did, and it was so neat to hear them talk about how it made them feel and what a great experience it was for them. I took my own challenge and it was a much needed reminder to me that prayers are answered, God loves and cares about us and wants to help us, but we have to find the time to stop and listen.
