“Today, in a quiet grove at Valley Forge, there is a heroic-sized monument to Washington. He is depicted not astride a charging horse nor overlooking a battlefield of glory, but kneeling in humble prayer, calling upon the God of heaven for divine help. To gaze upon the statue prompts the mind to remember the oft-heard expression, “A MAN STANDS TALLEST WHEN UPON HIS KNEES.” Men and women of integrity, character, and purpose have ever RECOGNIZED A POWER HIGHER THAN THEMSELVES and have sought through prayer to be guided by such power. Such has it ever been. So shall it ever be. From the very beginning, Father Adam was commanded to “call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore” (Moses 5:8). Adam prayed. Abraham prayed. Moses prayed, and so did every prophet pray to that God whence came his strength. - President Thomas S. Monson (First Counselor in the First Presidency), “The Prayer of Faith,” Ensign, First Presidency Message, August 1995. #Prayer #Pray #God
