QUOTE OF THE DAY George Albert Smith
"The Lord ... has explained to us how we may receive blessings through prayer. There are many people in the world who do not realize the real benefits of prayer. Prayer is a power. It has an influence that comparatively few people seem to understand" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, p. 98). |
