''Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.'' (The Lord's Prayer: [https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/6.5-13?lang=eng#p8 St Matthew 6:5-13]) | |||

"We are all children of God. He loves us and knows our needs, and He wants us to communicate with Him through prayer. We should pray to Him and no one else. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded, “Ye must always pray unto the Father in my name”. As we make a habit of approaching God in prayer, we will come to know Him and draw ever nearer to Him. Our desires will become more like His. We will be able to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that He is ready to give if we will but ask in faith." <ref>[https://www.lds.org/topics/prayer?lang=eng Prayer - LDS Topical Guide]</ref> | |||
# ''If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.'' <ref>[https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/james/1.5-6 St James 1:5-6]</ref> <ref>[https://www.lds.org/new-era/2009/04/line-upon-line-james-1-5-6?lang=eng Line upon Line]</ref> | |||
# ''Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?''<ref>[https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/7.7-11?lang=eng St Matthew 7:7-11]</ref> <ref>[https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/04/seek-and-ye-shall-find?lang=eng Seek and Ye Shall Find - Craig C.
