Ever found yourself lacking the motivation to pray? You're not alone; many of us experience this struggle. In this bonus episode of Grace at the Fray, Jim Lovelady shares a powerful teaching session by Patric Knaak, where he candidly opens up about his own struggles with prayer and explores how Jesus invites us into profound spiritual nourishment through the Lord's Prayer. If prayer ever feels like a mere obligation, don’t miss this chance to reconnect with your true identity in Christ, experience a renewed sense of God's power, and bring back the joy and purpose in your prayer life.

In this episode, they discuss…

• How Jesus uses the Lord’s Prayer as an invitation to purposeful prayer [06:44]
• How the Lord's Prayer radically re-calibrates our identity and prayer posture  [13:04]
• What Kingdom-centered prayer reveals  about our abilities and need for God [16:04]
• Why we can ask for outrageous outcomes and trust in God’s provision [17:40]
• Practical applications for practicing deep, dependent kingdom-centered prayer [22:34]
