Day 24- Wednesday, April 27
Read- Jacob 6-Enos
Mark-Enos 1:4
Quote- "How many of you, with or without serious transgression, have ever prayed all day and into the night? Have you ever wept and prayed for many hours? How many of you have prayed for five hours? for one? for thirty minutes? for ten?" ~President Spencer W. Kimball
Question- How often do you cry unto the Lord in mighty prayer? How can you make prayer more meaningful?
My greatest spiritual weakness is prayer. I have a really hard time making it a priority and I have a hard time focusing my mind on what it is that I want to pray about. I know that prayer is one of our most important tools that the Lord has given us. And I know that the Lord truly answers our prayers if we have faith. By remembering the importance of prayer in our lives, and by remembering how much our Father in Heaven wants to communicate with us it can be easier to make time to talk to Him. I will make a better effort to pour my heart out to my Heavenly Father so that He can bless me with the things that I need most.
Day 25- Thursday, April 28
Read- Jarom-Words of Mormon
Mark- Jarom 1:5
Quote- "We have become a nation of pleasure seeking sabbath breakers... What fits the purpose of the Sabbath? Activities that contribute to greater spirituality...I don't believe that it is possible to keep our spirituality on a high plane by spending our Sabbath on the beach, on the golf corse...or in our own homes...looking at the television." ~President Ezra Taft Benson
Question- How can you more fully keep the Sabbath day holy?
Keeping the Sabbath day holy is a very important commandment that the Lord has asked us to follow so that he can bless us. It is a hard commandment to keep but I know if we can dedicate that day to the Lord that we will receive many blessings and that our spiritual understanding will greatly increase.

Use the time for spiritual reflection ie family council, visiting the sick or elderly or feeding the missionaries, writing in your journal etc.
