A family’s heartfelt plan to stay spiritually connected through nightly online prayer sessions took an unexpectedly hilarious turn when their very first attempt was hilariously interrupted by poor network connection.
The lady who shared the video explained that she and her family had recently agreed to start praying together every night via online calls, with the aim of strengthening their bond and remaining spiritually in tune with one another — even while living apart.
However, when they finally tried to carry out the first session, things quickly spiraled into chaos due to terrible network issues. The poor internet connection caused severe lags, repeated phrases, and overlapping voices, turning what should have been a solemn prayer session into an unintentional comedy show.
In the video, family members struggled to hear one another clearly. They kept repeating “Praise the Lord” without knowing who was supposed to start praying. The audio distortion made communication nearly impossible. Eventually, they gave up on the prayer for the night — bursting into laughter instead. Despite the failed attempt, it was clear that their joy and unity were still fully intact.
The video quickly gained traction online as viewers found the entire scenario extremely relatable. Many users shared their own experiences with network-related frustrations during virtual family events, especially in Nigeria where internet interruptions are common.
Nonetheless, people praised the family for their effort, closeness, and shared sense of humor — turning a failed prayer into a joyful bonding experience. Netizens commented on how their chaotic interaction still showed love and intentionality.
