#missionaryprayerchallenge

There are days where you have so much to do that you forget to pray. Or days when you don't feel like you are in the right mind-set to pray because of everything that has happened, and you are just too frustrated. These are days when we need to pray the most. The power of prayer is not limited. It's amazing that we have such an easy access to our Heavenly Father. All it takes is a prayer, and BLAMO you are speaking to Him directly. He hears you. He listens to your pleas. He knows you. AND He wants to bless you! He is just waiting to fill your cup with AMAZING blessings, all you have to do is remove the lid and let it happen. So, because the power of prayer is so amazing I thought it would be fun to start a challenge. The #missionaryprayerchallenge. LDS missionaries are constantly praying. When they wake up, before all meals, before personal study, before companion study, before you leave (every time), before they give their lessons, after they give their lessons, group prayer before bed, personal prayer before bed. They pray probably 15 times a day or more. And because of how often they pray, they are able to teach the gospel much more thoroughly and effectively. Now, I'm not saying that if you do this your day will be perfect. All I am saying is that it WILL help. Maybe it will only help you control your attitude and emotions, maybe it will do more. But what could it hurt? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It WILL help you, I promise. So for everyone who reads this post, I challenge you to do the #missionaryprayerchallenge for 1 week. Pray as often as possible. Let them be heart felt prayers. Pray right after you wake up in the morning, right before you eat every meal, before you leave your home, in the car on your way home (if you can't pray at the place you were just at), pray before reading your scriptures, pray after, basically just pray as much as a missionary does. Show that you are doing this challenge by tweeting the hashtag, using this hashtag in your facebook status, and once you are complete, do the same thing but explain what changed, how you feel, and so on. This challenge is not limited to just LDS members of course. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not limited to only those in the church. Spread it! Share this blog post and let's get people participating in this challenge and see what happens! Ready.....Set....GO!
