I had a crazy math teacher that would yell at us not to just stay home and pray. Ms. Font would tell us that Prayer and Action go together. I've been talking to my mom how sometimes we spend so much time trying to raise money or raise our own spirits before we do anything. Even though that first step can be the hardest thing, sometimes getting the ball rolling by doing something small can get the ball rolling and provide it's own currency.
I liked this quote from the Prophet about how prayer can really be self-encouragement bouncing off the inspirations of knowing there are others struggling to get over:
"...When you pray you rise to meet in the air those who are praying at that very hour, and whom save in prayer you may not meet.
Therefore let your visit to that temple invisible be for naught but ecstasy and sweet communion.
For if you should enter the temple for no other purpose than asking you shall not receive.
And if you should enter into it to humble yourself you shall NOT be lifted: Or even if you should enter into it to beg for the good of others you shall not be heard..."
