Prayer is the Bridge

"Prayer is the bridge
Over which we approach
Our Father in Heaven"
In good times and rough

It costs us nothing
To offer up prayer-
Only faithful effort
And a desire to share

Then from the other side
Each thing we utter is heard
As unto Him we confide
While He helps us form each word

President Hinckley also outlined four ways young women can ensure virtue is a staple in their lives: prayer, study, tithing and church attendance.

"Prayer is the bridge over which we approach our Father in heaven. It costs nothing. It requires only faith and effort," he said.
