Pray for abilities equal to your task

Do not pray for task equal to your abilities, But pray for abilites equal to your task. Then the performance of your task will be no miracle, But YOU will be the miracle (Gordon B. Hinckley) One day a lady wrote a letter to a dear church leader
Sometimes I wonder if I make a difference in my children’s lives. Especially as a single mother working two jobs to make ends meet, I sometimes come home to confusion, but I never give up hope.” Her letter continues as she describes how she... and her children were listening in church, where you were speaking about prayer. Her son made the comment, “Mother, you’ve already taught us that.” She asked, “What do you mean?” Her son replied, “Well, you’ve taught us to pray and showed us how, but the other night I came to your room to ask something and found you on your knees praying to Heavenly Father. If He’s important to you, he is important to me.” The letter concluded, “I guess you never know what kind of influence you’ll be until a child observes you doing yourself what you have tried to teach him to do.” (end of story) In life So often as we become educated and grow older we loose faith in God and subsequently forget to pray, because we have slowly begin to take upon us the stain of the world and have began to lean on our own wisdom. The following has been said about this matter. “O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.

“But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God
