It is within the sanctuary of the Church that we protect our faith. Meeting together with others who believe, we pray and find answers to our prayers; we worship through music, share testimony of the Savior, serve one another, and feel the Spirit of the Lord. We partake of the sacrament, receive the blessings of the priesthood, and attend the temple. . . When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God. There is always a place for you here. No trial is so large we can't overcome it together.

One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to manifest.

Prayers said by good people are always good prayers
Willa Cather

Perhaps she had not understood the heights to which prayer must rise before it becomes pure praise, the fortitude that is demanded before it can share in the redemption of man's soul. The man of prayer beside her had said it was action, the greatest activity there is. She began to believe him.

The better we know ourselves the less we'll criticize others. The bigger your problems, the bigger your prayer should be.
Norman Vincent Peale
