Praying with the Spirit

Many Christians are dissatisfied with their prayer lives. Despite our best intentions, prayer can be awkward and, at times, difficult. We may struggle to focus, find the right words, or develop consistent habits. Fortunately, Romans 8 offers us hope and encouragement. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas describes how the Holy Spirit graciously and patiently prays with and for us, so that our prayers ascend to God’s throne room with beauty and power.
