Day 327

• Principle: Always pray.

• Book of Mormon Reading: Mormon 5:13 - 6:5

• Prayer is immediately available in all situations.  Jesus taught, “Ye must always pray unto the Father in my name” (3 Nephi 18:19).  In the midst of all the wickedness in verse 21  it is stated that “the Lord will remember the prayers of the righteous, which have been put up unto him for them.”  Even in the darkest of times the Lord hears your prayers.  

• For the rest of today focus on the following scriptures about prayer.  Pay attention to how, when where, why, you should pray.  As well as the blessing that accompany a righteous prayer.
