We all need help from the Lord in every area of our lives, and one vital key to receiving that help is prayer.

In Receiving Answers to Our Prayers, Elder Cook examines some of the most important principles and practices of prayer, which the Lord has taught us through scripture and through living prophets. By illustrating those principles through examples and many true-life stories, he shows that the Lord does answer prayers and suggests ways we can become more receptive to the answers the Lord sends.

Elder Cook focuses on the difficult question of why answers do not always come in ways we expect and what we can do then to increase our faith.
