Join Ken Yasinski in his Ford F-150 for a personal reflection on what happens to your faith when you stop praying. A memorable encounter with a 90-year-old woman offers a simple lesson: if you don’t use it, you risk losing it.
Drawing on St. Alphonsus Liguori’s teaching on the necessity of prayer, Ken explores why willpower alone cannot sustain the Christian life. Every time we pray, we make acts of faith in God’s existence, His love, and His willingness to hear us—and open ourselves to the help we cannot give ourselves.
In this video:
• How prayer strengthens your faith
• Why we need God’s grace to overcome temptation
• What St. Alphonsus teaches about Adam and the fallen angels
• Why prayer is necessary for salvation
• Simple prayers you can turn to throughout the day
If your prayer life has slipped, begin with something simple: “God, help me.” You don’t need elaborate words to ask for His assistance.
