Life is a continuous struggle but with prayer as a weapon, everything is manageable. My family is a living example, we live by faith.

A family without pray to God is nothing to achieve in life. Praying to God is a spiritual power that keeps us from evil. In many families, I've seen that those who live without God has many problems and they don't know how 'God is Great'. I like the song 'How great is our God' that provides the spiritual knowledge to know it true.

Praying to our Heavenly Father is our way to communicate to them. Thanking them for all the wonderful things and blessing they gave to us. We ask guidance and strength to our Heavenly Father so that we could resist temptation and increase our faith to Him. It is better that we do this as a family. We can have our family prayer before we go to sleep.

My step-sister thought that her family was a happy prayerful family as well, and then she found out otherwise. Two of her daughters got pregnant in their teens, out of wedlock, and the father of her daughter's son abused him. The girls have all vowed never to have big families, and they vowed never to force religion and faith on their children because of what they went through. Their mother used religion and faith as a weapon, she tried to brain wash her daughters. My mother let me be a free thinker, and I am happy she did because I see the world for what it is, and I would never use prayer or religion as a weapon.

There is a saying that the family that prays together stays together. You are right. Prayer is a powerful weapon, which protects everyone from danger and harm. It brings about a subduing effect on the family who believes in prayers.
