sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care and bids me at my Father’s throne, make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief and oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my ev’ry care and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
I’ll cast on him my ev’ry care and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

[Sweet hour of Prayer--Hymns #142]

I love this song.
Also, I love prayer.
Because prayer is a huge blessing from our Heavenly Father.

Through prayer we can:
feel the love of God.
feel the Holy Ghost.
receive guidance for our lives.
know that God exists and that He hears us.
feel peace and calmness.
"know the truth of all things."
receive answers to our questions.
strengthen our relationships.
know that we're not alone.
receive blessings from keeping the commandments.

There are so many blessings of prayer.
