Our prophets have admonished us repeatedly to make family prayer a
regular part of our daily worship. President John Taylor asked the
Saints:
Do you have prayers in your family?...
And when you do, do you go through the operation like
the guiding of a piece of machinery, or do you bow in meekness and with a
sincere desire to seek the blessing of God upon you and your household?
That is the way that we ought to do, and cultivate a spirit of devotion and
trust in God, dedicating ourselves to him, and seeking his blessings.
