Robert L. Millet taught:
Perfect prayer is offered to God the Eternal Father, in the name of his Only Begotten Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost. Most of us are well aware that God the Father is the ultimate object of our worship and that our prayers should be directed to him. And we know that we are to pray to the Father in the name of the Son. But perhaps we are not quite so familiar with the idea that our prayers, in order to meet the divine standard, should be prompted, guided, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. In other words, as with all forms of divine communication, including sermons, gospel lessons, and so forth, prayers should be carried out under the direction of the third member of the Godhead.
Another way of putting this is to observe that prayer is not, merely a product of our own thoughts and feelings. Prayer is intended to engender communion with Deity. Communion certainly entails more than monologue. It should, in fact be a dialogue, a true conversation with speaking, listening, digesting, learning. ~Robert L.
