The Lord communicates with individuals, and he "can and will communicate with you." And he promises that answers will be given to prayers uttered by those who earnestly seek him out.
"As a child enjoys a satisfying and secure relationship with his or her own father, he or she can relate naturally to his or her Heavenly Father. The child senses that he is a child of God and that God is his Father. That feels normal, that feels right, because it is right."
Individuals must never begin thinking that the Lord does not care for them or that he does not know them and their feelings individually because "Our Father has a superb communications system through which he transmits messages and feelings," by revelation through the Holy Ghost.
When one uses the sacred words, "in the name of Jesus Christ," they are "much more than a way to get out of a prayer, out of a testimony or out of a talk. We are on holy ground. We are using a name most sublime, most holy, most wonderful — the very name of the Son of God. We are now able to come to come unto the Father through his beloved son.
"God is our father. We are his children."
