Prayer is a simple thing. It's just tapping on God's shoulder and talking to Him about whats going on, or what needs need to be met, etc. However, its often forgotten about in all the craziness. Its really a shame because some people could really use a prayer to get through the holidays.
Not everybody is having a good time or the means to give their families a good Christmas morning. Some people are sick or hurting in the heart and some people are so lonely they can't stand it.
