Mark's public prayers are approximately 10 seconds long. I'm not exaggerating. I've tried, with mixed and limited success, over the years to encourage him to express more gratitude and to be more thoughtful about the blessings he seeks. This morning he offered another very brief prayer. I encouraged him saying, "It might be nice for you think of some more things you can thank Heavenly Father for. You could also ask Him for things that you need--like having the Holy Ghost help you throughout the day."
His response was, "Haven't you noticed that I have changed the beginning of my prayers? I now say, 'My dear, KIND Heavenly Father!'"
