Prayers can either flow from the flesh or be led by the Spirit—but how do we tell the difference? Self-centered prayers often stem from pride, personal ambition, or worldly desires, while Spirit-led prayers align with God's will and reflect His heart.

This conversation unpacks how to discern the motivations behind prayer, avoid common pitfalls, and realign our focus toward seeking God's kingdom above all else.
