## Resource

Abiding in Prayer Life can sometimes feel like we're paddling hard against the wind—trying our best but getting nowhere. Yet God never intended for us to move through life on our own strength. In this message, Pastor Tom reminds us that prayer is how we lift the sails of our hearts to catch the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Discover how to move from striving to abiding, and experience the peace and strength that come when we stop paddling and start praying. From our "Our Church" series at Iowa City Church.
