Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened.

That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of.

As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, "...but... I'm sleeping. I'm not sure I know how to get up from a dream!" He told me "if you don't get up now, you'll forget it in the morning." I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me.

I've sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer! #mylittleprayer #prayer #christmas

Sinceramente no creo que llegues a leer esto, pero hace 4 dias cumpli 7 años desde que volvi a casa dee mi misión, y aun puedo sentarme en mi cama por las mañanas cerrar los ojos, escuchar esta canción y sentirme en mi ultima area, se que has estado teniendo una transición entre lo que creias y sientes, no es nada facil, te he visto despotricar a la fe que amo, pero por mas que intento no puedo enojarme contigo, no se como te sentiste pero supongo que no fue bonito para ti, tampoco se quien te dijo que no eras bienvenido por lo que sientes o por quien eres, pero solo te puedo decir que cosas que has hecho en el pasado como esta canción dan fe de que en algun momento supiste que El estaba ahi viendote y amandote, no cambies, sigue sintiendo, pero no dejes de hacer cosas como esta para inspirar a los demas, te deseo lo mejor del mundo, y no se si este bien decirte esto pero, siempre seras bienvenido, un abrazo

I am a devout catholic but this song should unite us all in Christ. He may be a Mormon but we share common ground in Jesus

Dear David Archeluta, I do not know if you will ever read this but if you do, I hope this finds you and your family well. I hope you and your lovedones are in the pink of health with so many blessings to enjoy. I have nothing but appreciation for your beautiful music, especially this one as it is one of the most that has helped me through the roughest part of my life. I have felt Heavenly Father's love through this song of yours. Hope you make more inspiring songs like this. Thank you so much! <3 <3 <3

This is a man who decided to put faith and other life choices over fame. You took the better path. Congrats!

My four year old daughter just said, “it’s like Jesus was singing to my heart.”

I was showing her the pictures to the book as the song played. 😍

[mrsrejas]

Hi David, a long time has passed, and things have changed in your life, but I still think you are amazing!

[anthonyalparone]

We love you David. God loves you David. Keep your faith David. Know you are loved and prayed for daily.
This song is absolutely beautiful . God Bless You David and your family. ⭐️🙏🤗

[SzilviaKovacs-Kerbs-xqbj]

I love this song and I can see the spiritual purity in your countenance David. Please don't change and don't listen to voice of the world and especially that of Hollywood. I hope you can read this too and as President Holland mentioned, you are never too far to return, and you are always welcome at Christ's table with open arms. Don't listen to people who have been fallen since the fall of Adam, people are imperfect. But Christ is perfect and what you feel and how you feel is between you and Him, no one else. Know that you are loved!

[michaelll.]

Hallelujah to Jesus Christ. saviour of the world. Glory to the Lamb of God.

I am a Muslim. We love the Prophet Isa. I love this song.

[eringrant]

I played this song for my mom as she lay dying of cancer. I listened to it every day in the days leading up to her death. I love the spirit and the peace and the strength it brings to my heart when I hear it. Now hearing it reminds me of those sweet moments with my mother. Thank you David Archuleta for sharing your gifts with the world.

I am not a mormon but I like the way David connects with his heavenly father.

Lyrics:

Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For your eternal presence
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
Sometimes I am afraid
And I know that's lacking faith
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan

Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you sending your son
To die so that I live
And for never giving up
I'm learning every day
That I won't always have my way
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan

Ooh

Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you hearing my prayer
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
There are answers I receive
No they're not always immediate
Sometimes I have felt defeated
That's when I kneel down in prayer
You show me you hear my prayer
I'm amazed by how you care
'Cause you hear my little prayer

[Versify]

Doesn't matter what gender identity you have David, I still think you are a wonderful person. You have done so much good in this world, don't forget it. I always find hope in your songs. Thank you.
