I have found that there is something about expressing sincere gratitude in prayer that brings the Holy Spirit. If you ever feel that your prayers seem uninspired, that they "don't get past the ceiling," or that you are having difficulty feeling the Spirit in prayer, I suggest that you stop and reflect on specific blessings you enjoy, small and not so small, and begin fervently and humbly to give thanks to your Heavenly Father. You will soon be filled with the Spirit.
--D. Todd Christofferson
It might sound contrary to the wisdom of the world to suggest that one who is burdened with sorrow should give thanks to God. But those who set aside the bottle of bitterness and lift instead the goblet of gratitude can find a purifying drink of healing, peace, and understanding.
--Dieter F. Uchtdorf
In a season in which we each have so much for which to be grateful, please feast on the words of the Lord, please come in some way closer to Him each day, and please let your daily patterns, your small and simple things, keep you close to Him.
--Gerrit W. Gong
