Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith." Behind God's Word is God Himself, and we read: "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me." As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray - as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray. E.M. Bounds
About This Quote

This quote is from the book, "The Greatest Glory in Living." This book was published by Joseph Smith in 1844. It is often referred to as the "Book of Mormon" because the Book of Mormon is mentioned throughout it. The word "pray" is used frequently in this book and we see that we need to ask God for things that God already knows we need. The most important thing we can do when we pray is that we pray in faith and not doubt that God will answer our prayers. God loves us and wants us to be happy and He wants us to know Him and know that He hears our prayers.
