The
words we use in speaking to someone can identify the nature of our
relationship to that person. They can also remind speaker and
listener of the responsibilities they owe one another in that
relationship. The form of address can also serve as a mark of respect
or affection....When
we address our Heavenly Father, we should put aside our working words
and clothe our prayers in special language of reverence and respect.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, The Language of Prayer, April 1993 General Conference
