Prayer.
The one connection that's a sure guarantee. The one signal that's never lost. The instant message that the receiver already knew was coming but might not respond to right away.
Kneeling.
Showing love and respect. Submission.
Salutation.
Addressing a being that is glorious beyond description yet out of all the titles you could give Him, He wants you to simply call Him father.
Gratitude.
The realization that all the blessings you have come from above. Knowing someone loves you and wants to give you so many wonderful things.
Asking.
Truly desiring and wanting to know what He does and what He would have us do.
Closing.
Recognizing the Saviors hand and knowing that it is because of Him that it is even possible to return to our Father in Heaven.
Kneeling.
Showing love and respect. Submission.

Preach My Gospel teaches:
God commands us to pray to Him. You can pray at any time and in any setting. The Lord has taught us to kneel and pray in the morning and in the evening, as individuals and with our families. Our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Through daily prayer we receive divine guidance and blessings. We should always pray sincerely. We should also pray with "real intent," which means we are committed to act on the answer that we receive.
We pray with faith to our Father in Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ (Moses 5:8). Because He is our Father and we are His children, He will answer our prayers. We begin our prayers by addressing our Father in Heaven. We end our prayers by saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
In prayer we speak openly and honestly with our loving Father in Heaven. We express gratitude and thanksgiving for our blessings. We may acknowledge our love for Him. We also ask for help, protection, and direction according to our needs.
As we pray with faith, sincerity, and real intent, we will see Go's influence in our lives. He will guide us in our daily lives and help us make good decisions. He will bless us with feelings of comfort and peace. He will warn us of danger and strengthen us to resist temptation. He will forgive our sins. We will feel closer to Him. We must learn to recognize His influence in our lives. We must learn to listen to the still, small voice of the Spirit. We can recognize when the Holy Ghost is teaching us the truth. Our minds will be filled with inspiring and uplifting thoughts. We will be enlightened, or given new knowledge. Our hearts will have feelings of peace, joy, and love. We will want to do good and be helpful to others. These feelings are hard to describe but can be recognized as we experience them.
Talking about our desires, my Institute teacher jokingly commented on the statement, "My prayers never seem to get past the ceiling," with, "...Maybe you need to pray outside!"
I know the feeling of my prayers bouncing back at me. What I learned from a friend was that I needed to be open to all possible answers. Only until I did that was I able to feel peace. Not that I didn't think I was being heard, I just felt like no answer was coming. Only until I had real intent and was willing to act on that answer did I get a confirmation.
Prayer works. The line is always free. There's full coverage and no hidden fees. The answer will always be yes when you ask, "Can you hear me now?"
