Everybody knows about prayer. Most of us value and practice prayer: it meets our need when we feel helpless, afraid, uncertain, or lost; we know that God the Father takes joy in answering prayer. Nevertheless, many of us struggle with prayer for a variety of reasons, including busyness, longstanding unanswered prayers, or even doubt. Our conundrum is that on the one hand we consider prayer important, but on the other hand we confess our prayer lives are frequently wanting. Despite our best intentions and efforts we cannot solve this puzzle. That's because God alone can give us what we need for a satisfying prayer life - the Holy Spirit.
