Matthew 6:5-13 | E.M. Bounds in his classic, Power Through Prayer, notes

that prayer is great spiritual work, and our flesh opposes great spiritual

work. This is so true. We long to lean into this great spiritual work in a

deeper way because we know there is a depth of communion, transformation,

and enjoyment with the Lord as our prayer life with Him deepens.  This

Sunday we turn to Jesus' teaching on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount to

prepare us for a deeper prayer life in 2026.
