26. Prayer Opens the Heavens with Caroline Burton

Send me a message! Mosiah 4:14-15 was an answer to a mother’s prayer! Caroline’s husband was frequently away on military duty, leaving her to parent alone. One challenge she struggled with was contention among her children. As she prayed for guidance, she came across this scripture, which inspired her to teach her children to love and serve one another instead of fighting. From that point on, whenever her children argued, she would have them write down Mosiah 4:14-15 and explain that contention was not welcome in their home. She then had them find ways to serve one another throughout the day. Over time, this simple practice reduced the arguments and brought greater peace and the Spirit into their home. For Caroline, the scriptures continue to provide the guidance and answers she needs.
