  • Stories from General Conference PRAYER
    Episode 9 Stories from General Conference PRAYER NARRATOR: The topic of this collection of stories from General Conference is prayer. When we realize we are children of a loving Father in Heaven, the desire to pray becomes instinctive. Prayer is used in many situations, and is a means to bring our will in harmony with the will of God. In the April 2000 General Conference, Elder Henry B. Eyring related a story about some good advice regarding prayer given to a new stake president. (Elder Henry B. Eyring, Sunday Morning Session, April 2000) I saw a young man nearly overwhelmed by a new call not long ago. The Lord had inspired His servant to call him to be the president of a stake. The young man had never been a bishop. He had never served in a stake presidency. The stake had in it many men of greater maturity and experience. He was humbled when he heard the call. His wife through tears said to the servant of the Lord who called him, "Are you sure?" Her husband said quietly that he would serve. His wife nodded her support, tears streaming down her face. As you might have done at such a time, he wanted to talk with his father, who was far away. He called him that afternoon on the telephone. His father has been a dairy farmer all his life. He raised the boy into a man through milking cows and letting his son observe him stop to talk with neighbors to see how they were doing. The next morning, in his first talk as a stake president, this is how he recounted the conversation with his father: "Many of you that know me know I am a man of few words.
