Families differ in terms of Economic, Social and many other facets but what many families has in common is that people who call it a family are making clear that people are important in some way to the person calling him his Family.
What is Prayer?
Prayer is a Spiritual communication between man and God, a two way relationship in which man should not only talk to God but also listen to him. (Billy Graham)
Praying to God is like a child’s conversation with his Father. It is natural for children to ask their father for the things they need. Promises of prayer (Psalm 91:15) (Isaiah 65:24) (Matthew 7:7)
