"(Our) loving God ... (is) not a God lacking in body, parts, or passions- the God of a man-made philosophy. Rather, God our Father has ears with which to hear our prayers. He has eyes with which to see our actions. He has a mouth with which to speak to us. He has a heart with which to feel compassion and love. He is real. He is living. We are his children made in his image. We look like him and he looks like us."
"He stands ready to answer the prayer of (our hearts). Being the father of (our spirits), and having created (us) in His own image, knowing the end from the beginning, His wisdom faileth not and His counsel is ever true. Make a friend of Him."
~Thomas S. Monson
"I recognize that, on occasion, some of our most fervent prayers may seem to go unanswered. We wonder, 'Why?' I know that feeling! I know the fears and tears of such moments. But I also know that our prayers are never ignored. Our faith is never unappreciated. I know that an all-wise Heavenly Father's perspective is much broader than is ours. While we know of our mortal problems and pain, He knows of our immortal progress and potential. If we pray to know His will and submit ourselves to it with patience and courage, heavenly healing can take place in His own way and time."
~Russell M. Nelson
