"Our Heavenly Father has placed an upward reach in every one of us. The words of scripture speak loud and clear: 'Look to God and live' (Alma 37:47). No problem is too small for His attention nor so large that He cannot answer the prayer of faith. Prayer surely is the passport to spiritual power. You can pray with purpose when you realize who you are and what Heavenly Father wants you to become. You will not find it difficult to approach Him with your sincere prayer as you remember the words of the Apostle Paul, 'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?' (1 Cor. 3:16)."
President Thomas S. Monson, "Your Celestial Journey." Ensign, May 1999, 96.
I love the idea of prayer being a passport to spiritual power. I have been thinking about this ever since I saw a clip of the second Harry Potter movie when Dumbledore says, "Help will always come to those that ask for it." We need to not only be aware of God's love for us but also of the fact that we can turn to Him for help in any situation. He will always be there at the other end.
