One reason for prayer

Idea: One reason prayer is important is that it helps s get to thinking about other people. Heavenly Father wants all of his children cared for, so He that is probably one reason He uses prayer. When we are praying, we are thinking beyond ourselves and we are trying to think about His will. That helps us think about others.

Agency and mortality

Moses and Abraham (the books) have a lot of stuff about mortality and the purpose. I am being blessed for keeping my first estate, and these blessings come in the form of trials and testing too. Heavenly Father is doong it for me. He wants me to be sure, to truly have the pure chance to choose him.

Self worth

I have been feeling a little bit low on my self-worth lately. It's causing me to compare myself to others and feel like my life isn't as cool as it could be or whatever. Getting on social media never helps with this. So I think I need to avoid it for a little while. But I ready to talk from October 2017 by Sister Jones about our value and how the Holy Ghost can help us feel of our value, especially during Quiet Moments when we receive simple feelings. I've experienced those often through my life and they are truly such blessings. Those are indications that the Lord sees me worthy to receive impressions she also mentioned a few methods of increasing our self-worth. She mentions the scripture about letting virtue garnish our thoughts and having charity toward others. She says that we can control our thoughts and choose to avoid negative thoughts or self-doubt. I need to be better about redirecting my thoughts. She also talks about focusing on the atonement and the Savior and what he did for me to give me self-worth. She says to give energy and love toward the Savior, and that as we do so his love and energy will flow into us. She says, if the pull of the world is stronger than the faith and trust we have in the Savior, then the pull of the world will prevail every time. She is saying that we have a choice where we focus our energies and everything and what we respond to. And there are results for those choices. Anyway, I just want to focus more and think more about my covenants and the Savior. I want to redirect my thoughts and use positive self-talk, and have virtuous thoughts.
