Heavenly Communication

“The special language of prayer follows different forms in different languages, but the principle is always the same. We should address prayers to our Heavenly Father in words which speakers of that language associate with love and respect and reverence and closeness. …

“Men and women who wish to show respect will take the time to learn the special language of prayer. …

“The Prophet Joseph Smith said, ‘It is a great thing to inquire at the hands of God, or to come into His presence.’ [History of the Church, 1:339.] The special language of prayer reminds us of the greatness of that privilege.”

President Dallin H. Oaks, First Counselor in the First Presidency, “The Language of Prayer,” Ensign, May 1993, 16, 18.
