🌷 Starting Small – Keeping an Open Prayer All Day

(Day 7 of “Finding Joy and Peace in a World of Contention” Series)

Over the last six days, we’ve looked at:

  • The Lord’s warning of condemnation.

  • Lehi’s dream and the real iron rod.

  • The danger of borrowed light.

  • The modern test of Church or Savior.

  • The Doctrine of Christ.

  • The Nemenhah witness of women and priesthood.

Today, we close with something so simple — and so powerful — that it can keep you walking with the Savior every single day: starting small and keeping an open prayer all day.

📜 A Testimony That Stuck With Me

Last week, a dear brother bore his testimony and gave some advice to his son.

He said:

“When you wake up in the morning, start your prayer — and don’t say amen until the end of the day.”

That’s it.
Simple. But if you do it with a real heart, it will change everything.

🕊️ What This Really Means

When you rise in the morning, your heart shouldn’t be centered on what you want or need.

Instead, your first thought should be:
“Lord, what can I do for You today?”

From there, you keep that prayer open — talking with Him, listening for His direction — while you:

  • Help your spouse with something small.

  • Speak kindly to someone who’s struggling.

  • Follow a quiet prompting to call a friend.

🪶 The Nemenhah Perspective

The Nemenhah Records show that walking in the Spirit is not a “Sunday” thing — it’s an every moment thing:

“Consecrate every good thing in this hoop over and over… and have the courage to see what is not good, and make the change.” (AYAHTKUHYAHT NEMENHAH)

An open prayer helps you consecrate the good things and correct the bad ones in real time.

✨ Why Starting Small Matters

If you are faithful in the small things, the Lord will trust you with bigger things.
If you listen in the daily, ordinary moments, you’ll recognize His voice in the big, life-changing ones.

🌺 The Final Invitation of This Series

If you want joy and peace in a world of contention, start here:

  • Wake up with an open prayer.

  • Keep it going all day.

  • Ask Him what you can do for Him, and then do it.

The Savior’s voice is steady. His love is sure.
And when you walk with Him like this, no storm will take your peace.

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
