5.) "First, prayer is a humble acknowledgment that God is our Father and that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.

Fourth, it is an opportunity to express thanksgiving and gratitude to our Creator."

(James E. Faust, The Lifeline of Prayer, April 2002, http://www.lds.org/)

6.) "Prayer is a supernal gift of our Father in Heaven to every soul."

7.) "I have discovered that what sometimes seems an impenetrable barrier to communication is a giant step to be taken in trust. Seldom will you receive a complete response all at once. It will come a piece at a time, in packets, so that you will grow in capacity. As each piece is followed in faith, you will be led to other portions until you have the whole answer. That pattern requires you to exercise faith in our Father’s capacity to respond. While sometimes it’s very hard, it results in significant personal growth."

(Richard G. Scott, Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer, April 2007, http://www.lds.org/)

8.) "After making a request through prayer, we have a responsibility to assist in its being granted. We should listen. Perhaps while we are on our knees, the Lord wants to counsel us."

(Ezra Taft Benson, Prayer, April 1977, http://www.lds.org/)

9.) "It is soul-satisfying to know that God is mindful of us and ready to respond when we place our trust in Him and do that which is right. There is no place for fear among men and women who place their trust in the Almighty, who do not hesitate to humble themselves in seeking divine guidance through prayer."

(Ezra Taft Benson, Prayer, April 1977, http://www.lds.org/)

10.) "The holding of family prayer is a powerful influence for good in every home where it is a regular practice. Morning and evening prayers, as well as the blessing on our food, bring us a sense of unity in our family as well as a closeness to our Father in heaven. Family prayer is indeed a stabilizing influence in our lives."

(Franklin D. Richards, The Importance of Prayer, April 1972, http://www.lds.org/)
