On September 12, 1843 Wilford Woodruff was preparing to sleep after a long days journey when he wrote,

“I spent the night alone, the first night I had spent at Father Carters without Phebe being with me, & I would have given ten dollars to have had her with me on this occasion for I felt lonely like a dove without its mate. But after kneeling down by the bed & praying for her & the children & our friends I lay down upon the bed & soon fell asleep & had a good night's rest.”

I am grateful for the comforting power of prayer and to know that even when we feel alone, God is always with us. 

How have you been comforted through the power of prayer?
