There's no denying the fact that each and every individuals has his own unique way of doing things. But the most effective way cannot be obtained if trial is not applied. The above topic is pointing to the fact that there is power in praying. A family who chooses to inculcate the praying power into the system of their children is inculcating a legacy of Godliness . There's power in prayer and there's no denying it. It is a time tested philosophy and unarguably the principle by which you register your presence with God. I am not being unrealistic. It is a reality of life that is idealistic as well. It has been tested with proven results.
As a matter of fact , when I was in school , my Daddy of blessed memory had a unique way by which he responds to his children requests. When you meet him for anything especially concerning monetary matters , instead of dipping his hands into his pockets and brings out money , he would tell you straight that he doesn't have now but when you insisted to collect it , he would tell you come back later. If later you come to him again , if he has he would just give you straight. But if the amount of money requested is big , he would tell you pointblank again that before you come back , God Almighty would provide it. What I normally do is to keep an eye on my Daddy whether he is going out or not. At times he would not go out , you're will just notice that someone came to visit him for one thing or the other. After the departure of the visitor , few minutes later , he would call you into his room and give you amount you have requested. If you ask him later where has he sourced the money . He would quickly tell you that it was God Almighty that had provided it . How Sir ? It was through Power of Prayer. That is his usual answer. There are so many things that I know he resolved when he was alive without consulting anybody for assistance. But I noticed that voluntarily People come to him to resolve riddles. And they go back home happily.
Family Approach To Prayer.

This is every morning assignment for every member of the family to do and afterwards the day's work would now begin for everybody. But during the course of the prayer , if any of the family members has a point of prayer to raise , there and then such a person is allowed to raise it and jointly everyone go into prayer session on behalf of the person who raised it.

Then in the night , before going to bed , similarly a bell is run say 10pm and everyone converge again for prayer. The same steps are followed. Afterwards , everyone would go and sleep.
