In D&C 6:36 it says, "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not fear not". I have always viewed this scripture as more of a general statement to always keep God in our thoughts and in our actions. But as I worked on strengthening my personal prayers this week, it took on a deeper meaning for my own method of praying. I have always struggled with staying focused during prayers. I find myself beginning my prayer and then realizing 5 minutes later that my mind had wandered off into La La Land without even realizing it. Every night this week I began to write down an outline of what I wanted to cover in my prayer and keep it in front of me as a reference. This has really helped me to stay focused on the Lord in my prayers and give Heavenly Father the love and respect that he deserves as I approached my daily prayers fully prepared.
So to me, this scriptures explains the importance of having a sincere prayer, and even though it can be easy to lose focus, if we keep our thoughts only on our Father in Heaven he will take away our fears and our doubts and bless us immensely.
