Are you feeling stuck in your prayer life? Unsure about how to pray? Most of us know WHAT we want to pray for, but don’t know HOW to ask God for it. As Christians, prayer is a powerful tool in our spiritual arsenal that we can use to grow closer to the Father’s heart. But how many of us view prayer in this way? Instead of being motivated by what we need or what we want in life, we can humbly draw closer to God in our relationship with Him when we pray.
