“Praying always entails constantly being conscious of God and his plan of salvation. It consists of having a continual attitude which directs us during every waking moment of mortality, of maintaining a spiritual posture of thankfulness and reliance on the Lord, of desiring the companionship of the Holy Ghost. Brigham Young noted that to pray always is to live as we pray: ‘I do not know any other way for the Latter-day Saints than for every breath to be virtually a prayer for God to guide and direct his people. … Every breath should virtually be a prayer that God will preserve us from sin and from the effects of sin’” (Parry, “‘Pray Always,’” 144).
