Invitation to speak with God

Readers,

In Priest quorum last year then one of my youth leader was teaching us a lesson, he grab from his bag, envelopes  for everyone we open them up.
There was a small letter saying  Invitation to speak with God  inside listed Who, Why, Where, When, Promise I have written out some of the scriptures, and so on, so enjoy.

Who- Moroni 7:48  " Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen"

Here are the whys: 2nd Nephi 32:9, 1st Thessalonians 5:18, James 1:5, Matthew 7:7-8, 3rd Nephi 18:15

1st Thessalonians 5:18: In every thing gives thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you"
Matthew 7:7-8: Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seekth findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened"
You need a desire to seek on you're own, I know that once you seek for yourself you will find you're answers, once you knock... it shall be opened.

Here are the Wheres: Matthew 6:6, D&C 19:28
D&C 19:28 "And again, I command thee, that thou shalt pray vocally as well as in thy heart; yea, before the world as well as in secret, in public as well as in private" Don't be afraid to vocally say you're prayers when you're alone, they do help and  you get more out of them.

When:  Alma 34:21 and 1st Thessalonians 5:17
1st Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing" Alma 34:21 "Cry unto him in you're houses yea, over all your household, both morning, mid-day, and evening"
We need to pray always, so we may have the spirit to be with us always.

Promise: Alma 37:37 and 3rd Nephi 18:20
3rd Nephi 18:20 "And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you" Our promise is that when we pray, our Heavenly Father will hear us.

Please, look up the rest of the scriptures.. you will love yourself if you do, you will get a deeper understanding, this is our invitation to speak with God ... John Bytheway has often said, "If you want to talk to God pray, if you want God to talk to you read you're scriptures
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
