What happened next changed my life--and the world--forever. His story reminds us that access to our Heavenly Father is merely a prayer away, and we can find answers, strength, and solace in our own sacred groves. Do you have a sacred grove? Let me know in the comments below! Lyrics Verse 1 Joseph Smith went to a grove full of trees. Seeking God's wisdom, he fell to his knees. As he pled with the heavens the sky filled with light, And the Father appeared with His Son Jesus Christ Standing above in the air, Coming to answer his prayer. Chorus I will find my own sacred grove Away from all of the noise of the world. I will turn to prayer, For I know He's there. I will find my own sacred grove. Verse 2 So many choices with so much at stake. Life's full of pathways, but which should I take? If I lift up in prayer in the name of the Son, Through the pow'r of the Holy Ghost answers will come. Heavenly Father is there Ready to answer my prayer. Chorus Bridge Sometimes the answers take time, So I'll listen in heart and mind. Revelation will come my way As I wait patiently in faith. Chorus I will find my own sacred grove.
My sacred grove is in my car. I spend a lot of time in it travelling to and from work and it’s become a very sacred, personal time. I pray (eyes open!) and converse with the Lord. I ponder as I decide what I’m actually going to take to Him. Some things I can sort myself. I laugh, cry and everything in between as I share the thoughts of my heart. It’s so refreshing to speak with someone who has no other agenda but my eternal salvation. I’m grateful I have access to God anytime, anywhere.
