7/5/21 - The world, the flesh, and the devil are all opposed to us praying and praying well. Ultimately, it is not just our prayer that they are after, it is our very identity that is under attack – if the enemy can take us out at the level of our understanding of who we are, who we are called to be in Christ, who God is, and what our true relationship is, then he can easily take us out at the level of prayer. The stronger we see and believe in our identity in Christ, and the more we freely say "yes" to live it, the stronger our lives of prayer will be. Learn more on today's episode of The Simple Truth!
