"For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good..."
D&C 21:4-6
Neil L. Anderson - April 1996 Ensign, "Teaching Our Children to Love the Prophets".
The Lord's Promises to You
If children all their days in their turn at family prayers and in their secret prayers remember before the Lord the leaders of the Church, they are quite unlikely to ever fall into apostasy.
The children who pray for the brethren will grow up loving them, speaking well of them, honoring and emulating them. Those who daily hear the leaders of the Church spoken of in prayer in deep
affection will more likely believe the sermons and admonitions they will hear.
