Obstacles to prayer

Prayer is a powerful connection to God, yet many obstacles can hinder us from experiencing its full impact. In this message, Pastor Matthew Mletzko explores the barriers that keep us from a thriving prayer life. Whether it’s doubt, distraction, or discouragement, Scripture provides the encouragement we need to overcome them. Psalm 70 reminds us to seek God urgently, Philippians 4:6 calls us to pray with thanksgiving, and Romans 8:26 assures us that the Spirit intercedes for us in our weakness. As we remain steadfast in prayer (Romans 12:12) and trust in God’s unshakable love (Romans 8:38-39), we can break through these obstacles and draw closer to Him.
