You can start with praying for the people you love. The more you embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, the bigger that group becomes. So you may begin by praying for your family and friends to overcome the different challenges they’re facing. But as your love of God grows, your love of others will naturally increase too.
Not sure who to pray for? Then pray to know who you should pray for. Pay attention to the names that come to mind. God may surprise you with some unexpected answers. As you pray for them by name, pay attention to feelings and thoughts that come to you about how to help them.
If you haven’t had the opportunity for missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints to pray with you and share an uplifting message about prayer, you can request a visit now.
