Through daily prayer we receive divine guidance and blessings. We should always pray sincerely. We should also pray with “real intent,” which means we are committed to act on the answer that we receive.
why do we need to pray with real intent?
* when we pray with real intent we are willing to listen to the lord
* we become humble in his teachings.
*we strive to recieve his Guidens
*we ponder our answers
Prayer is a way for us to communicate to our heavenly Father and he wants to hear from us as much as we are willing to talk to him.

Prayer is a way for us to communicate to our heavenly Father and he wants to hear from us as much as we are willing to talk to him.
We can recognize when the Holy Ghost is teaching us the truth. Our minds will be filled with inspiring and uplifting thoughts. We will be enlightened, or given new knowledge. Our hearts will have feelings of peace, joy, and love. We will want to do good and be helpful to others. These feelings are hard to describe but can be recognized as we experience them.
Each of us will experience gods love and answers differently. If we all experience the same thing of the spirit it would not be personal to us then there would be know meaning to pray. God wants us to pray to him so that we can experience his love in many ways so that we can learn from him and grow from him.
As you make a habit of approaching God in prayer, you will come to know Him and draw ever nearer to Him. Your desires will become more like His. You will be able to secure for yourself and for others blessings that He is ready to give if you will but ask in faith.
Your Heavenly Father is always ready to hear and answer your prayers. The power of your prayers depends on you. As you strive to make prayer a part of your life, remember this counsel:
Make your prayers meaningful.
Use language that shows love, respect, reverence, and closeness.
Seek Heavenly Father’s guidance and strength in all you do.
Remember the needs of others as you pray.
Seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost so you will know what to include in your prayers.
When you make a request through prayer, do all you can to assist in its being granted.
(All of this counsel comes from true to the faith)
In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ counseled: “Enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matthew 6:6). Personal, private prayer is an essential part of your spiritual development.
Remember that prayer is two-way communication. As you close your prayers, take time to pause and listen. At times, Heavenly Father will counsel, guide, or comfort you while you are on your knees.
Never give in to the idea that you are not worthy to pray. This idea comes from Satan, who wants to convince you that you must not pray (see 2 Nephi 32:8). If you do not feel like praying, pray until you do feel like praying.
When we don't feel like praying it all most like saying to your friend to leave you alone. Our heavenly Father doesn't want you to tell him to leave you alone he wants you to come to him cause his arms are always open to recieve you.
The Savior has commanded, “Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work” (D&C 10:5). Although you cannot be continuously on your knees, always offering a personal, private prayer, you can let your heart be “full, drawn out in prayer unto [God] continually” (Alma 34:27; see also 3 Nephi 20:1). Throughout each day, you can maintain a constant feeling of love for your Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son. You can silently express gratitude to your Father and ask Him to strengthen you in your responsibilities. In times of temptation or physical danger, you can silently ask for His help.
In addition to commanding us to pray in private, the Savior has exhorted us to pray with our families. He said, “Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed” (3 Nephi 18:21).
In my family we would always strive to say morning prayers together cause that's the only time we were all together because at night I was never home or someone else in the family was gone. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't pray as a family cause a member of the family is gone you should always pray with those that are there and add a blessing to the person gone that he or she will be blessed and safe
Through regular family prayer, you and your family members will draw nearer to God and to each other. Your children will learn to communicate with their Father in Heaven. You will all be better prepared to serve others and withstand temptations. Your home will be a place of spiritual strength, a refuge from the evil influences of the world.
The Savior taught, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7–8). To the Nephites He said, “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you” (3 Nephi 18:20).
If you haven't yet knocked at the lords door to enter in to feel the love that he has for you why not take the chance to. the door will be open to all those who will take the oppurtunity to do so and all you have to do is ask.
when we pray we recieve answers that may seem confusing to you well thats because god doesnt like to do all the work god only goes so far then we have to do the restwe have to meet god half way. we are here to learn and if god does everything for us then we are not learning.
Heavenly Father hears your prayers. He may not always answer as you expect, but He does answer—in His own time and according to His will. Because He knows what is best for you, He may sometimes answer no, even when your petitions are sincere.
why would that be so?
mabye is it because he has something in store for you
mabye there is something that you cannot see

Answers to prayer come in many ways. They often come through the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost (see “Revelation,” pages 140–44). They may come in the circumstances of your life or through the kind acts of those around you. As you continue to draw near to your Heavenly Father through prayer, you will recognize more readily His merciful and wise answers to your pleadings. You will find that He is your “refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
I hope all is well at home. send my love to the fam and continue reading and praying and being an example.
love ya
