5 any of you lack , let him ask of God, that to all men liberally, and not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him in , nothing . For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Pray daily with faith. Thank Heavenly Father for all your blessings. Ask Him for that which you need. Pray for peace. Ask Him to help you be a CTR Person and don't doubt His power to mold you into the best CTR Person that you can possibly be. "Believe and Achieve."
Joseph Smith's Prayer after reading James 1:5-6 in the Bible.
The First Vision set to music sung by a women's choir at a General Conference session of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. The lyrics of the song describe the events seen in the video of Joseph Smith's first prayer and vision and calling of God as His prophet. Joseph Smith was called of God to Restore the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ once again to the earth, complete with priesthood authority to baptize and ordain and bless, as well as new revelations given in ancient Nephite civilizations (Book of Mormon), and the modern day (Doctrine and Covenents). Here are the lyrics to the music in the video:
Joseph Smith's First Prayer
With dignity
31243, Hymns, Joseph Smith's First Prayer, no. 26
1. Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,
Music ringing thru the grove,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love,
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love.
2. Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing—
'Twas the boy's first uttered prayer—
When the pow'rs of sin assailing
Filled his soul with deep despair;
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav'nly Father's care;
But undaunted, still he trusted
In his Heav'nly Father's care.
3. Suddenly a light descended,
Brighter far than noonday sun,
And a shining, glorious pillar
O'er him fell, around him shone,
While appeared two heav'nly beings,
God the Father and the Son,
While appeared two heav'nly beings,
God the Father and the Son.
4. "Joseph, this is my Beloved;
Hear him!" Oh, how sweet the word!
Joseph's humble prayer was answered,
And he listened to the Lord.
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God;
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God.
