When we heed God’s invitation to commune with Him in prayer, we can experience the fruits of the Spirit such as peace, patience, and joy. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, explains that every fruit has a root. Philippians 4:6 counsels us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Throughout her 14-year-long battle with a brain tumor and her teenage son’s illness with a rare blood cancer, Kathy learned that God inclines His ear to hear our voice.
