GEMS-Family: Bowing with Meekness in Our Prayers

Bowing with Meekness in Our Prayers

“Our prophets have admonished us repeatedly to make family prayer a regular part of our daily worship. President John Taylor asked the Saints:

” ‘Do you have prayers in your family? . . .

” ‘And when you do, do you go through the operation like the guiding of a piece of machinery, or do you bow in meekness and with a sincere desire to seek the blessing of God upon you and your household? That is the way that we ought to do, and cultivate a spirit of devotion and trust in God, dedicating ourselves to him, and seeking his blessings.’ (Journal of Discourses, 20:118.)”
