Summary
Since Lent is only a few weeks away, it's time to review prayer and answer some big questions about why it is important we pray, and how we should pray.
+ MONDAY: If God is perfect and already knows everything, then why do we pray, and what difference do our prayers make?
+ TUESDAY: Most people treat God like a genie in a lamp. We should, instead, treat Him as our dad.
+ WEDNESDAY: What little gifts do we receive through unanswered prayers?
+ THURSDAY: God invites us to wrestle with Him and the plan He has for us through prayer.
+ FRIDAY: What are the types of prayer, and how does one flow the next?

| 0:32.9 | St. John Bosco is an important saint from the 1800s. |
| 0:40.0 | If you know your history, he lived during the Industrial Revolution, and his life played an important part during that era. Born to a poor |
