Before Elder Holland passed away, he had a near death experience during which he received the following personal revelation:

“I thought I prayed all the time, more or less. But the lesson was, ‘Pray more than you pray.’ However much you’ve prayed, pray more. And in however many places you’ve prayed, pray in more places. However many times during the day you pray, pray more times in the day.“And it started to give meaning to me, an overwhelming meaning to me that … it was quite literal when God had said, ‘pray always.’”

"The other lesson was to testify, to be a witness. However much you testify, testify more."

In Alma 26:16 we read:

Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.

We cannot pray and testify of Christ enough. It ca never be too much. As we pray and testify more, we, and others, will be blessed.
