- 3 Nephi 18: 21… Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.
- “Parents, help safeguard your children by arming them morning and night with the power of family prayer. Children are bombarded every day with the evils of lust, greed, pride, and a host of other sinful behaviors. Protect your children from daily worldly influences by fortifying them with the powerful blessings that result from family prayer. Family prayer should be a nonnegotiable priority in your daily life.” Richard G. Scott, October 2014 General Conference
- “I submit that a return to the old pattern of prayer, family prayer in the homes of the people, is one of the basic medications that would check the dread disease that is eroding the character of our society. We could not expect a miracle in a day, but in a generation we would have a miracle.” Manual, Teachings of the President of the Church: Gordon B Hinkley, Chapter 6, How Mighty a Thing is Prayer
