A Prayer Exercise for Charity
Seeking Charity, Replacing Excuse with Reason
A personal challenge to myself this week.
Whenever an “excuse” comes into my head to withhold love for an individual I’m going to try with all my might to have that be the trigger for the following mental prayer (or something similar): “Heavenly Father, why should I love them?”
And then push out the previous “excuse” and embrace the new “reason” found in prayer.
I am hoping to eventually get good enough at this prayer and start beating the “excuses” with finding a “reason” before the first comes into my mind 😉
I invite everyone and anyone to join me in coming closer to God and our brothers and sisters in this simple but hopefully life changing prayer exercise!
Please share any experiences or additional insights you have or come across in the comments when trying out this prayer exercise, thanks! Love

Moroni 8:26 And the remission of sins bringeth meekness, and lowliness of heart; and because of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of the Holy Ghost, which Comforter filleth with hope and perfect love, which love endureth by diligence unto prayer, until the end shall come, when all the saints shall dwell with God.
Moroni 7:48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
I believe casting out every excuse to withhold love with more love IS how we become “purified”.
