The Bible is a letter God has sent to us prayer is a letter we send to him.
Matthew Henry

If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord, we shall for that reason love home, reckoning our daily devotion the sweetest of our daily delights, and our family worship the most valuable of our family comforts.

Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
Matthew Henry
