Stake Conference weekend-theme did you think to Pray?

I am always exhilerated hearing the good messages of the Stake Pres. including and well especially Bryan as I am bias. The messages going along with the theme; did you think to pray? were just for me I think --it made a difference. Even though I've lived with Bryan all these years, I am in awe and still coming to appreciate all his fine qualities. I respect the time he takes in preparing his message. I am inthrolled with the manner in which he presents his thoughts and motivated by his testimony.

He spoke tonight about the way we don't use vain repition, if we want to improve in our prayers
and that our children hearing us --often try to mimic our prayer phrases. One time Anson call(who is now serving as a missionary) when he was a small boy said, "please bless the Prophet and the old fossils"
He addressed that idea that we can be anxious to pray, because of our relationship to our loving Heavenly Father and that we are indeed his children. He mentioned that the youth repeat that often in song and in their primary, YW and YM themes. It would seem that we would desire to
pray. He also mentioned that we can think about our Father in Heaven and be drawn out in prayer, not just pray and go on our way as did those in the day of Alma. I learned a lot, and felt the spirit of the Holy Ghost bear witness to me of what he was saying was true.
