This is a fascinating idea.  I'm not saying I'm recommending it, but I found in on LDS Living, and to be able to visualize good things seems like having faith!  I'm going to try it in some of the things I am praying and hoping for!  The Lord's will to be done is what we pray for also! Why Visualization Might Help with Your Prayers (and How You Can Try It Yourself) by Greyson Gurley  | Apr. 11, 2020 When we think of prayer, many of us think of simply speaking to God. We are taught the “formula” for prayer from a very young age. We often think of the words we should say when praying. But could prayer look different?

This is a talk given in General Conference, October 1968.  I remember hearing of President Alvin R. Dyer, and he wrote and spoke many things about America! New post on  BofM.Blog America’s Grand History by  riannelson@aol.com How is it possible to read the Book of Mormon and read the promises about a Promised Land, and not know these prophets are speaking about the United States of America? There are many choice lands in the Americas, but not like the USA with its constitution, liberty and missionary work. We truly are blessed to be in this chosen land of America.
