"Lift up your soul in prayer and explain to your Heavenly Father 

what you are feeling. 

Acknowledge your shortcomings. 

Pour out your heart and express your gratitude.

 Let Him know of the trials you are facing. 

Plead with Him in Christ's name 

for strength and support. 

Ask that your ears may be opened, that you may hear His voice."

—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Hope of God's Light"
