I've been really trying to pay attention to my prayers lately. . . sad that it takes such effort for me.  

Was sitting at the temple preparing my YW lesson on Sunday morning and came across this quote (which consequently I didn't even use in my lesson), and I can't stop thinking about it.  

Pretty powerful.  

"In the end the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.  Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers."  Elder Uchtdorf

I hope that the prayers I answer outnumber the prayers I utter, because for sure my prayers are answered by others all the time and it is only makes sense that I should be able to do the same.
