“Jesus reminds us that prayer is a little like children coming to their parents. Our children come to us with the craziest requests at times! Often we are grieved by the meanness and selfishness in their requests, but we would be all the more grieved if they never came to us even with their meanness and selfishness. We are simply glad that they do come--mixed motives and all.” IfsChildrenLittlesWould BeJesusParentPrayerOur ChildrenGladSelfishnessMotiveRequestMeannessCraziest Book:Prayer - 10th Anniversary Edition: Finding the Heart's True Home Source: Prayer - 10th Anniversary Edition: Finding the Heart's True Home
“God has told us Latter-day Saints that we shall be condemned if we do not enter into that principle of polygamy; and yet I have heard now and then (I am very glad to say that only a low such instances have come under my notice) a brother or a sister say, 'I am a Latter-day Saint, but I do not believe in polygamy.'

A person might as well say, 'I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, but I do not believe in him.'” IfsBelieveWellsPersonsIdeasMightJesusChristLordPrinciplesHeardBrotherExpressionLowsJesus ChristSaintGladAbsurdInstanceLatterFollowersNow And ThenLord Jesus ChristPolygamyLatter DaysLatter Day Saints Author:Orson Pratt
