I think this is brilliant advice:

"Listen to the quietest whispers of your mind. They are telling you the choices that will help you the most."

The Power of Prayer

"I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives."
~Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College

Believe

“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.”

~Jeffrey R. Holland~

Ask, Seek, Knock

‎"Ask & it will be given to you; seek & you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." 

~Matt 7:7

What Faith Can Do

"I've seen miracles happen, silent prayers get answered, broken hearts become brand new - that's what faith can do."

(Lyrics from 'What Faith Can Do', by Kutless)

Take time today to remember those times and if possible record them.

Expect

Expect to have your hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Wings, Sails & Prayer

‎"What wings are to a bird, and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul."

~Corrie ten Boom

Prayers

"If God answers your prayer, He is increasing your faith. If He delays, He is increasing your patience. If He doesn't answer, He has something better for you."

Talk + Prayer

Food for thought:

"Have you prayed about it 
as much as you've talked about it?"

Waiting Upon the Lord - Robert D. Hales

(Robert D. Hales, from 'Waiting Upon the Lord', General Conference, October 2011)

It Is Easy To Let Prayer Slip

"In the hectic, pressure-filled schedules you face, I . . . know how easy it is to let prayer slip. Some of you hit the snooze button on your alarm clocks, thinking you can eke out just another minute or two of sleep, then jerk awake realizing that you are going to be late for school or work. On such mornings, prayer gets pushed aside, perhaps with a feeble promise to yourself that you will do better tomorrow. Put the alarm clock where you can't reach it from bed; that will solve this problem. Sometimes you return home late at night, exhausted and eager to collapse into bed. You may go through the motions of prayer in a perfunctory and superficial manner, but that is not the kind of prayer that helps us conquer Satan.

"I know many of you live in apartments where you have four or five roommates. The television or stereo may be on day and night. People talk loudly enough that even in your bedroom you can hear them clearly. There is laughter, noise, interruptions. In such circumstances it is a challenge to find a time and a place where you can be alone with your Heavenly Father. The Savior spoke of entering our closets to pray (see Matthew 6:6), suggesting the importance of privacy and quiet when we talk with God. For most of you, your closets will not allow this to happen, so you need to find a time and place where you can be alone with the Lord and pour out your heart to Him, that you might add strength and power to your spiritual lives."
M. Russell Ballard, "Be Strong in the Lord, and in the Power of His Might" (CES fireside for young adults, March 3, 2002), 2–3
