047. How Spiritual is your Prayer Life? (Romans 1:8-15)

Lenny and Melissa explore Paul's prayer life across his letters, revealing his consistent focus on thanksgiving, spiritual growth, and Christ's love rather than sin-consciousness.

• Paul consistently displayed thanksgiving and never-ceasing prayer 
• Paul's prayers focused on believers growing in knowledge of Christ's love, not on their sin
• The resurrection life was the hope early Christians awaited before Christ's second coming
• Paul encouraged believers to focus on "whatever is pure, lovely, and commendable"
• Modern prayer often emphasizes sin-consciousness while Paul emphasized grace-consciousness
• The Corinthians, despite their issues, were told they were "not lacking in any spiritual gift"
• Posture in prayer can bring unexpected peace during times of anxiety and distress
