The Ability of God

H.B. Charles Jr.

Christians long to be assured that God hears them and is able to meet their deepest needs when they pray. Yet many of us do not rightly understand what prayer is or how we ought to pray. In this introductory lesson, Dr. Charles explains the importance of learning to pray in light of the power and glory of God in the Apostle Paul’s doxology in Ephesians 3:20–21.
