Can I talk to God?
Can I talk to God?

Yes. Your Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to talk to Him in prayer. The Savior said that we should “pray always” (Luke 21:36). A prophet whose words are recorded in the Book of Mormon said, “Let your hearts be . . . drawn out in prayer unto [God] continually” (Alma 34:27).

Prayer is one of the greatest blessings we have. It allows us to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His guidance in all matters, great or small.

Prayer is not complicated. You can pray anytime, anywhere, out loud, or silently, with perfect confidence that God will hear you.
