If you want to know how to pray...

I was in  a bar tonight on Main Street in Stamford, NY chatting with the regulars, when my friend Don suddenly offered:  "If you want to know how to pray...watch Fiddler On The Roof."  I looked at him in disbelief. What a simple yet profound statement!  I was shocked at how right he was.  I remembered the play.  I remembered the film.  I remembered just how Tevye, the milkman, was in constant dialogue with God. This is how we are instructed to pray so that we might develop the bond we all are so desperately seeking with The Father.  I promised Don two things:  I would post his words of wisdom at LetItAllStartHere.com before I closed my eyes tonight.  And I would make a point to see the film again. I hope you all do as well. Thanks Don!

Our prayers are listened to. I have no doubt. And each prayer counts. when we pray together, in the spirit, we can affect people's lives. God loves us and when we pray in love, I believe , God is moved in love

Prayer is a blessing for God's children. All too often, I ignore this important opportunity to speak to the King of Creation. This was a good reminder. Thanks!
