In this kickoff message of the How to Pray series, we explore why prayer can feel unanswered and what Jesus teaches about approaching God with confidence. From Matthew 6 and Luke 11, we uncover barriers that can hinder prayer—like hidden sin, misplaced motives, and unforgiveness—but also the hope we have through Jesus, who gives us full access to the Father. Before we learn how to pray, we first learn why we can come at all.
