We do it often without thinking about what we're doing, but what really is prayer? When Paul tells us to "pray in the Spirit" he's telling us more about what prayer really is than we may realize. In this passage we learn why we should pray, how we should pray, and what we should pray for. [Listen](https://cpmfiles1.com/dcbc.org/prayer-in-ephesians.mp3) ## [Ephesians 6:13-17 - The Armor of God Part Two - What is it?](https://www.dcbc.org/sermons/sermon/2026-05-17/ephesians-613-17-the-armor-of-god-part-two-what-is-it) _2026-05-17_ What is the armor of God?
