Drawing nearer to heaven

"There are many ways to draw near, seek, ask, and knock.  If, for example, your prayers offered to heavenly Father in the name of Christ have become a little casual, would you recommit yourself to meaningful prayer, offered in unrushed solitude and with a  repentant heart?  If you have not yet come to appreciate the peace and the power of temple worship, would you partake of the ordinances of the house of the Lord as often as your circumstances allow?  If you have not yet found the immersion in the scriptures increases your sensitivity to the Spirit, would you consider incorporating the word of God into your life more consistently?  Tonight would be a wonderful time to begin."
