What should I pray for LDS?
Remember the needs of others as we pray. We should offer prayers “for [our] welfare, and also for the welfare of those who are around [us]” (Alma 34:27). We should ask our Heavenly Father to bless and comfort those in need. Seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost so we will know what to include in our prayers.
