Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton

This week, the Lord Jesus is giving us a master class in prayer. We're reminded not to just kick back in our comfy armchairs and pray passively. Today Jesus is using active verbs such as ask, seek and knock.
