- As we converse with the Father, He can keep us from making wrong decisions that would have negative long-range repercussions or would cause costly delays.
- Through intimate communion with the Savior, worry, anxiety and fretting can be eliminated because we grow in assurance of His character.
- Even if we should start down the wrong path out of ignorance, God can get us back on track as we spend time in His presence and listen to Him.
- Our growing relationship with the Father produce a sense of peacefulness because we enjoy His perfect understanding of our circumstances and His unfailing guidance.
- Prayer invites us into his daily activities, allowing Him to make us productive.
