Heavenly Father loves us
and wants us to pray to Him. We can pray to Him anytime, no matter where we
are. He hears and answers our prayers.
Charlotte
Clark was just six years old when her family left
Nauvoo, Illinois, to travel west to the Salt Lake Valley. It was a long, long
way to walk. Charlotte walked so much that she wore out her only pair of shoes.
Every night when Charlotte knelt to pray, she asked Heavenly Father for a pair
of shoes.
One day Charlotte and her
sister were picking berries when Charlotte saw a pair of shoes. She and her
sister ran back to their mother and father, saying, “Heavenly Father sent me shoes, and they fit perfectly!” Charlotte’s
father was concerned that the shoes belonged to someone who had lost them. He
told Charlotte that if the shoes belonged to someone in their wagon train, she
should return the shoes to their owner.
Charlotte’s family showed the shoes to everyone, but no one claimed
them. Charlotte’s prayer was answered.
Heavenly Father answers our
prayers. The answers may not always be what we expect, but He will answer in
the way that is the best for us. We can pray to Him anytime, anywhere.
