How prayer has helped me - Spanish Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
Creo que las oraciones me han ayudado mucho. El año pasado pasé por algunas cosas difíciles, pero lo bueno fue que empecé a orar más sinceramente. Siempre he orado, pero antes oraba por rutina más que nada. Pero cuando empecé a hablar con Dios y realmente decirle cómo sentía, él llegó a ser más real y me dio paz y ayuda para seguir adelante.

Prayer has helped me to have a relationship with my heavenly father. When I pray, I can really feel that there is someone who is listening. And I have also been able to receive personal revelation. I have asked heavenly father things when I pray, and he has answered them. Sometimes, after I finish my prayer, or moments later, I read a scripture, a discourse, or through the words of another person. Prayer has helped me to increase my faith, in which our heavenly father knows us and listens to each of our prayers. Prayer has also given me strength in difficult times. I am very grateful for this tool, which connects us to God.

Prayer is so important for me because in difficult moments I feel a peace that helps me do good. I think it is very difficult in this world and when I try to do good it is difficult to avoid temptation. Therefore, when I pray I feel happy, I feel more confident that I am doing good and I try to do the best I can to serve others. I also think that I receive a light in my life. When I have to do a very difficult lesson, I can pray to my God and He can help me, especially in difficult times.

There are many, many times that I don't feel that my prayers are so effective and I have to focus more. The prayer is really sometimes a job, sometimes it requires a lot of effort to be able to communicate with God. I like, something I like to do is to imagine Jesus Christ in my mind. When I close my eyes, I only think of Him. And I reflect on all my mistakes that I made, all the problems that I have. And I like to think that Jesus Christ is really sitting next to me listening to each one of them. And He knows the answer that I need. So, prayer is effective when we really see it as a conversation. And we take the time to be in silence and just listen. Not talking all the time, but taking the time to listen as well.

Prayer has meant a lot to me in my life. That's how I've been able to know that there is a God. And it's also a very important way for me to communicate with Him and to be able to connect with someone in my difficult moments. Personally, the most difficult moments for me in my life are when I'm alone, when I don't have my family or friends around. In those moments, it's when I have bad thoughts, it's when I feel like I'm not important in the world, when I have anxiety about my decisions, about what I'm going to do with my life. But by having prayer, by being able to kneel at any time and pray to God, it gives me comfort and gives me someone I can trust in every moment.

One of the ways that prayer has helped me in my life is that it gives me an opportunity to give thanks for all my blessings. Scientists say that a grateful person is generally happier than another. I believe that God gave us the opportunity to pray. That was one of the reasons why he gave us that opportunity. It is because it gives us the opportunity to reflect and think about the blessings that we have received from him. And that makes us happier. It is a proven fact. And yes, that is one of the reasons, one of the ways that prayer has helped me.
