In this "Gospel Conversations" segment, March and Josh discuss the concept of prayer as it pertains to our Christian lives. The primary work of Christians is to pray. Most believers know they are supposed to pray, but very few truly understand what prayer can do. It's true that we are commanded to pray, but prayer is also a great privilege.
