Prayer is difficult. This is commonly known among all followers of Jesus. Even Peter, James, and John could not stay awake in prayer with Jesus at Gethsemane, though he asked them twice. When writing Romans, the apostle Paul assumes that prayer is difficult for the believer, that we are weak, that we need help. The good news is that God has given us help. Listen as Pastor Ethan Brown preaches from Romans 8:15–17, 22–23, 26–27, showing that God has not left us alone in our prayers––he has given us the Holy Spirit, and whenever we pray, whenever we truly pray, we pray with the Holy Spirit.
