About this episode

Francis Chan discusses the barriers to effective prayer and the importance of approaching God with a humble and repentant heart.

God desires to hear our prayers, but Scripture also warns that there are things that can stand in the way. In this message, Francis challenges us to examine our view of God's holiness and the condition of our own hearts. As he walks through Scripture, we're reminded that prayer isn't just about asking God for what we need or want. It's about coming before Him with repentance, humility, and wholehearted devotion. God's invitation has always been the same: turn back to Him. When we respond to His conviction with repentance, we're restored to the joy of walking closely with Him and the confidence that He hears our prayers.
