Today on Summit Life with JD Greer.

If Jesus, God in the flesh, felt like He could do nothing on His own,

and so that drove Him always to pray,

why would you and I go throughout our lives with so little prayer?

Do we honestly think of ourselves as more capable than Jesus

and less dependent on the Father?

Welcome to Summit Life with Pastor, author, and theologian JD Greer.

As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch, and we are so glad that you're back with us today.

You know, all of Jesus' teaching on prayer can be summarized in one little word.

Ask. Need wisdom? Ask. Need provision? Ask. Need healing? Ask.

There's really no limit. Just ask.

We're beginning a new teaching series from Pastor JD today

that takes a look at the revolutionary teaching of Jesus regarding prayer.

We'll see that the gospel of Jesus not only teaches us how to pray with boldness,

desperation, and trust, it also shows us a God who is eager to listen and ready to answer.

Let's get into God's word together and start this series with a message titled

How to Deal with Unanswered Prayer.

Most of us don't really have a healthy and robust prayer life.

I'm not saying that because I'm judging you or I don't like you,

but theologian DA Carson says that if you really want to embarrass the average Christian,

just ask them to tell you the details of their private prayer life.

A lot of us can impress others by our scripture knowledge.
