About this episode
Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges common misconceptions about prayer and emphasizes the importance of surrendering to God's will.
Have you ever felt frustrated with prayer because it didn’t “work”? In “A Battle of Wills”, Pastor Thomas-Steele challenges one of the biggest misunderstandings we have about prayer. What if the reason we’re discouraged isn’t because prayer is ineffective… but because we’ve been using it for a purpose it was never intended for? Continuing our series through the Lord’s Prayer, this message dives into Jesus’ words: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Prayer isn’t about getting God to advance our will. It’s about surrendering to His. This message will gently reframe your perspective and remind you that our greatest struggle in prayer isn’t getting God to provide — it’s learning to surrender. This isn’t just a teaching on prayer. It’s an invitation to lay down your will and trust the King.
