We can pray: “Lord, please do not delay” when we are praying selfless prayers. The Lord does care about our lives and situations. Sometimes, the trials of Faith that we go through enable our Faith to grow. Family prayers are also very important, especially the prayers of parents for their children when their children are still going through school or university.
