Communication is a necessary component of any and every relationship. It doesn’t matter if the person is a friend, a spouse, a co-worker or a neighbor. What kind of a bond or relationship do you have with someone you don’t talk to at least semi-regularly? Not much of one, of course.

Just like with a spouse or a friend, continual and consistent communication is necessary for a relationship with God. Prayer is the method by which we can go directly to the Creator of the Universe. Through prayer, we can give him our praises and requests and lay our worries and concerns at His feet.

Prayer is powerful and can change lives and situations. In a clip posted on YouTube, Priscilla tells Candace about the ingenious and moving way she has introduced her children to that power and shown them how God works in our lives.

She recalls some advice she received from a friend concerning prayer.

“She said to me, ‘When there is a problem that needs to be solved, don’t you just pray about it. Ask your kid to pray about it with you so that when God answers, whatever the answer is, they’re aware and can connect the dots that God did it,’” she said.

Priscilla added that, looking back, she can see her parents doing the same thing with her as a child. It’s now something she has continued to do with her children.

“I remember my parents doing that with me on several occasions,” she said. “We prayed about something, and then we were aware when there was an answer.”

Mark 11:24 “For this reason I say to you, ‘Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.’”
