"There is great power in loving, consistent, fervent family prayer. Don't deny your families this blessing. Don't allow the strength that comes from family prayer to slip away from you and your loved ones through neglect."

As I pondered John Groberg's quote, I got to thinking, it doesn't matter if you're a member of the LDS faith or any other faith for that matter. If every family, every father, every mother, every child would undertake to have a family prayer, at least once a day, it would mean amazing things for our society and toward our success in our current conflicts--at home and abroad.
