Opening The Door To Prayer

I love this quote by Elder Henry B. Eyring from his Ensign, November 2000 talk, Write upon My Heart. It reminds us, as a mother, what a powerful and important role we play in the day to day lives as well as the eternal progression of our children and families. We are their foundation, it is our job to make sure they know that they are loved by us as well as their Heavenly Father and their Savior Jesus Christ. It is our job to open the door, to give them the foundation of prayer.

"When we teach those we love that we are spirit children temporarily away from a loving Heavenly Father, we open the door of prayer to them.

"We lived in His presence before we came here to be tested. We knew His face, and He knew ours. Just as my earthly father watched me go away from him, our Father in Heaven watched us go into mortality."
