Family/Apartment Prayer

I believe an important habit of a good, faithful family is regular family prayer. I have been blessed to have parents that encourage that habit. In my current situation, in which I live with roommates in an apartment, I express my gratitude for apartment prayer. It's not as consistent because there is always someone out and about while we have apartment prayer. But, it is a blessing to be able to take a few minutes to pray together with friends and/or family, whatever the situation may be. Individual, sincere prayer brings an individual closer to God. When a family/apartment says a sincere prayer together, they become closer to God and closer to each other.
