Lesson 22: Prayer - A Commandment and a Blessing

Sisters-

What a blessing it has been to study the life and "faith in action" of the Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith!  He was the first Prophet of God I got to see "in person" at a BYU Devotional in 1970.  He appeared very old to me.  He seemed almost shy.  His delivery was "quiet" in nature.  But I had the unmistakable impression that he was called as Prophet, Seer, and Revelator for the Lord at that time.
Studying his offerings/insights on so many important gospel topics, I have come to revere him.

This week I get to teach Lesson 22: Prayer - A Commandment and a Blessing.  Please consider these thoughts:
1. If you could write a prayer out before you expressed it to the Lord, what would it say?
2. Why is PRAYER a commandment?
3. What is an "enthymeme" and how does it apply to how/why we study the gospel and/or the writings of our modern day prophets?
4. What is ONE WAY we can improve our communication with the Lord upon better understanding the material in Lesson 22 of the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith?

SEE you Sunday!
