Every so often something touches your heart in a way that you will never forget. I remember the night President Hinckley gave his address to the youth, his famous 6 B's.
It was this moment that I will always remember feeling the special love of a prophet.
O God, our Eternal Father, as Thy servant I bow before Thee in prayer in behalf of these young people scattered over the earth who are gathered tonight in assemblies everywhere.
.
Please smile with favor upon them. Please listen to them as they lift their voices in prayer unto Thee.
.
Please lead them gently by the hand in the direction they should follow. Please help them to walk in paths of truth and righteousness and keep them from the evils of the world. Bless them that they shall be happy at times and serious at times, that they may enjoy life and drink of its fulness.
.
Bless them that they may walk acceptably before Thee as Thy cherished sons and daughters. Each is Thy child with capacity to do great and noble things. Keep them on the high road that leads to achievement. Save them from the mistakes that could destroy them. If they have erred, forgive their trespasses and lead them back to ways of peace and progress.
.
For these blessings I humbly pray with gratitude for them and invoke Thy blessings upon them with love and affection, in the name of Him who carries the burdens of our sins, even the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

This makes me miss him. I forget how remarkable his words were. Thanks CarleeP.
I remember exactly where I was sitting when he gave that talk. I was so moved that he would pray for us publicly
