"The great tragedy of life is that, loving us and having paid that awful
price of suffering, in the moment when He is now prepared to reach down and help
us we won't let Him. We look down instead of up, accepting the adversary's
promptings that we must not pray; we cannot pray; we are not worthy to pray.
But, says Nephi in response to that, 'I say to you that ye must pray always, and
not faint.'" — Truman G. Madsen,
"The Radiant Life," [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1994], p. 44

"Can we pray when there is really hardly the heart for it? Lorenzo Snow leaves
us the glimpse that after he was, as he felt, stillborn into the Church, nothing
really significant happened in and after his baptism and confirmation. He kept
praying for the witness of the Spirit. It didn't come. Not only not feeling as
he was wont, but feeling that the heavens were as brass over him, he
nevertheless went to an accustomed place to pray. He had no sooner opened his
lips than the Spirit descended upon him in a marvelous way. He described it as
like the sound of rustling silken robes—they
did not have the word electricity then. This experience was more tangible in its
effect upon every part of his body than being surrounded by water in baptism. He
was filled, though praying when he didn't want to pray. (See Juvenile Instructor
22:22.)" - Truman G. Madsen, The Radiant Life, p.6
