In Truman Madsen's book, "The Temple" he says there is truth in the practice of facing the Temple when we pray. Yesterday, I read 1 Kings 8 - Solomon's dedicatory prayer for the newly built Temple. Solomon tells the Israelites to face the Temple when they pray. He built the Temple, under God's direction, so the Ark of the Covenant would have a permanent home. So God would have a home on earth.
In the past year, off and on, I have faced the Temple as I prayed. Everytime it amazes me how I can feel my heart turning, too.
