Quote of the Day: Featuring President Packer

I have started reading the talks from the last General Conference again.  They were so inspiring and amazing, and I can't help but read them again.  Here is a quote from President Packer's talk, the first one in the opening session. 

"I have come to know that faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief. There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother." - President Boyd K. Packer

Wow.  What a profound thing to say.  And the amazing thing is, it is so true.  I have the privilege of hearing my mother pray for me and my siblings almost everyday.  Plus, she has told me many times that she prays for me often.  It is a humbling thing to know that someone is praying for your health, safety, and guidance throughout some of the hardest and easiest days of your life. 

I can't think of many better things than having my mom pray for me, and I look forward to the day when I will be able to pray for my own children.
