Joseph Smith's Seven Patterns of Prayer
See Meridian Magazine site:
- Know our absolute dependence on the Lord (Ex. First Vision)
- Weary the Lord until He blesses you (Luke 18:1-5)
- Join the faith of others in obtaining powerful blessings (Joseph and Hyrum suffering from Cholera)
- Pray for something better (Joseph's prayer for the Johnny cake, and he prayed for something better. Before they finished eating the Johny cake, a man came by and gave them flour and a ham. Joseph said, "I knew the Lord would answer my prayer.")
5. Come to know God so well that you really know to whom you are praying (Learn God's character, His will for us, and the faith that He actually exists.
6. Knowing beforehand you will obtain your answer--exercising great faith.
7.Cry from the depths of your soul (100% perfectly honest)
