I prayed to Him for help when I was a teenager and I felt His love for me. It was a particularly strong experience. That was the spark. Then more experiences came in which I chose to pray about them, and He blessed my life. I also started reading the scriptures with my heart and found out who Jesus Christ was and is. I loved reading about how He interacted with people and found that to be so fulfilling. I personally noticed that my life was truly better. Then I went to college, served a mission to Alaska, taught the gospel in many different settings, married, I am in the middle of mothering four children, and have experienced plenty of joys and heartaches. For me it started with some faith and it is still by faith, prayer, and study that I know there is a God. The many different experiences of life give these things I do context, a reason to keep nourishing this relationship with my Heavenly Father.
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
- Luke 11:9
