And thus we saw the glory of the celestial, which excels in all things - where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever;

Before whose throne all things bow in humble reverence, and give him glory forever and ever. - D&C 76:92-93"We should remember the Most High day and night - always - not only at times when all other assistance has failed and we desperately need help," said Elder Howard W. Hunter of the Council of the Twelve, speaking at the October 1977 general conference. "If there is any element in human life on which we have a record of miraculous success and inestimable worth to the human soul, it is prayerful, reverential, devout communication with our Heavenly Father.

"Prayer, reverence, worship, devotion, respect for the holy - these are basic exercises for our spirit and must be actively practiced in our lives or they will be lost."
