    We need to intercede desperately for people when God lays them on our heart.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 21, 2010

    For Reformation Sunday, October 1987: Job in the Old Testament and Luther in the Reformation Era were chronically unhappy people, but used that as a form of spiritual energy to drive them toward creative achievement and an honest personal faith.

    We all need a throne room, where we can maintain a measure of control and an upper room, where we can nourish our privacy. We will also have a den, a place of escape or of anxiety. The key to managing them all is the open windows of prayer.
