A Thought on Prayer, or Honesty

Honesty in prayer is one indication of our understanding and acceptance of God's love for us (meaning that He doesn't just love our behavior or our compliance to His will). We show our trust in Him by approaching Him in prayer as we are, not as we hope to be or appear.

The Savior was very honest in His prayers. He told God how He was feeling when He said, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me."

We will learn about God's personality as we pray honestly to Him. We will learn of His perfect understanding, His compassion, and His complete love for us.
