Elder David A. Bednar gave a wonderful talk about visiting the savannah of Africa and watching two cheetahs patiently stalk their prey. The topis remained alert however and escaped just in time. He compared it to spiritual warnings in our lives. He said, "Spiritual complacency and casualness make us vulnerable to the advances of the adversary. Spiritual thoughtlessness invites great danger into our lives...Focusing our lives in and on the Savior and His gospel enables us to overcome the tendency of the natural man to be spiritually snoozy and lazy. As we are blessed with eyes to see and ears to hear, the Holy Ghost can increase our capacity to look and listen when we may not typically think we need to look or listen or when we may not think anything can be seen or heard."1
We all have times when we fight the battle of laziness, even with something as simple as getting down on our knees to pray. We may think it is only something minor but I am certain that it is not. I say this because of my own natural man moments. On cold nights when we want to jump into bed and barricade the cold with our comforter, it is tempting to forego kneeling. There are times when we feel too tired to really say anything of importance. I know for myself, there have been prayers where I told my Father that I didn't have words for everything going on in my heart. Sometimes my tears serve as the only form of communication but the act of bowing before Him helps me stay in my place. It keeps me a little more humble. It helps me recognize His greatness and His mercy just a little more. When I take time to recognize those characteristics in Him, I can feel the Spirit more powerfully.
Can everyone get down on their knees? No. There may be some people with physical limitations who cannot do so but everyone can choose a place that helps them feel nearer to heaven. Will there be times when laying bed is an acceptable place to pray? Yes, on occasion but we must be conscientious that it does not become the rule rather than the exception.
I am fascinated by the Jewish religion in many ways but one of the things that impresses me most is their desire to keep the name of God holy. They do not speak His name unnecessarily, in jest, or as an expletive. Even when writing His name, they leave out a letter to keep the word incomplete. All this to honor and glorify His name. I believe as we cherish and protect His name, we have a greater tenderness in our relationship with Him.
John Taylor, the third President of the Church, reported: “Some years ago, in Nauvoo, a gentleman in my hearing, a member of the Legislature, asked Joseph Smith how it was that he was enabled to govern so many people, and to preserve such perfect order; remarking at the same time that it was impossible for them to do it anywhere else. Mr. Smith remarked that it was very easy to do that. ‘How?’ responded the gentleman; ‘to us it is very difficult.’ Mr. Smith replied, ‘I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.’”2
When we understand how sacred and special prayer is, I believe we make the principle of prayer a holy and sacred experience. Kneeling feels like a more appropriate way to help us be humble as we seek our God.

Some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I’m a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it’s been 8 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Lord Meduza spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 72 hours, Lord Meduza provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Lord Meduza, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $42.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Lord Meduza because he truly keeps his promises.

After falling victim to a well-orchestrated crypto investment scam that drained $400,000 of my hard-earned savings, I was devastated emotionally and financially. The con was sophisticated: a seemingly legitimate platform, regular updates, and even customer support that mimicked real-world exchanges. But once I tried to withdraw my profits, the system collapsed and all communication ceased. Panicked and desperate, I turned to online recovery services that claimed to specialize in crypto tracing and fund retrieval. Unfortunately, that decision only compounded my loss. I was conned yet again, this time by self-proclaimed crypto recovery experts who demanded upfront fees and delivered nothing but silence after payment. Just when I had given up hope, I came across Alpha Spy Nest through a cautious referral. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. Unlike the others, their process was clear, professional, and reassuring. They didn’t promise miracles but explained their strategy involving blockchain forensics, legal partners, and data tracing tools. Over the following weeks, they kept me updated with verified progress reports, wallet tracking, and eventually collaborated with authorities to freeze certain wallets linked to the scam. Against all odds, they successfully recovered a substantial portion of my funds, nearly the full $400,000. I was stunned. Their transparency, deep technical expertise, and commitment stood in stark contrast to the fraudsters I had dealt with before. Alpha Spy Nest gave me not just my money back, but a renewed sense of justice. I owe them everything.

My name is Michael, and I want to share how Astraweb helped me recover a large portion of my stolen crypto after I was scammed by a fake exchange. I had invested $87,000 into what looked like a professional trading platform. The site had a sleek design, live charts, and even fake reviews that made everything seem legitimate. But the moment I tried to withdraw my funds, everything went silent the support vanished, and so did my crypto. I felt sick. That money represented years of savings. I started researching recovery services and came across Astraweb. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the first contact, they were professional, responsive, and discreet. Their team immediately got to work, tracing the blockchain activity tied to my transaction. Within hours, they had mapped out a network of shell wallets used by the scammers. Thanks to their fast action and legal partnerships, Astraweb managed to freeze $62,000 of my stolen funds before it was laundered through crypto mixers. Not only did they recover a major portion of my investment they also helped shut down the fraudulent exchange and provided evidence to support legal action against those involved. I’m beyond grateful. Without Astraweb, I would have lost everything. They didn’t just promise results they delivered. You Can Reach Out To Them If You Are Having Similar Issues:
