Stop and Pray

Things happen and some merit immediate prayer. Nothing is so important that we can't stop what we are doing and pray, especially if we're asked to pray.

Last night a young woman from the General Conference here in Tampa was hit by a car and rushed to the hospital. Someone from the delegation asked permission to speak and shared with the presiding bishop these news. The bishop kept the business going until the matter before us was resolved. It was the longest five or six minutes. Finally, he recognized the delegation from which this young woman hails, and asked them to stand and then prayed.

Stop and pray. Nothing is so important that we can't stop what we are doing and pray. Nothing.
