Gratitude

Elder Hales said, "The Lord said, "If ye love me, keep My commandments." Our obedience to the laws, ordinances, and commandments is the greatest expression of love and gratitude that we can bestow upon Him. Might it be well for us to remember to give thanks to our Heavenly Father prior to asking for His help in solving our problems.

Prayer is an essential part of conveying appreciation to our Heavenly Father. He awaits our expressions of gratefulness each morning and night in sincere, simple prayer from our hearts for our many blessings, gifts, and talents. Through expression of prayerful gratitude and thanksgiving, we show our dependence upon a higher source of wisdom and knowledge, God the Father and His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
