“In our last general conference, I spoke about prayer. I’d
had a near death experience. For four weeks I was somewhere with a foot in
another world. The lessons I was given there and in effect told to take back to
the church were ‘Pray more than you pray.’ I thought I prayed almost all the
time. But the lesson was, ‘Pray more than you pray. However much you’ve prayed,
pray more. In however many places you’ve prayed, pray in more places. However many
times during the day you pray, pray more times in the day.’ It started to give
meaning to me – an overwhelming meaning – that it really was quite literal when
God said, ‘Pray always.’ I took it to be part of the hastening of the work, the
hastening of family history, missionary work, and every aspect of our work. The
other lesson was to testify; to be a witness. However much you testify, testify
more.” – Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
