Section 109

The temple is an amazingly spiritual place because it is the house of the Lord on earth, and is the place where temple ordinances can arm us with the power of God. This section is a beautiful dedicatory prayer for the Kirkland Temple. I love that the prayer is not only about the temple, but mentions blessing others like the prophet (v68), church leaders (v71), and the poor and afflicted of the church (v72).
I have to admit that I'm self-conscious when it comes to praying because I don't think my prayers are as good as others, but I know they are sincere. My prayers are completely my own, original thoughts that I feel as I'm praying. I try to show respect to my Father in Heaven when I speak to Him, but I am also myself. I love my Heavenly Father, my Savior, and the fact that I can pray to them with thanks, gratitude, and in times of need.
