The Christian Life is Supernatural

JI Packer:

"The Christian's life in all its aspects--intellectual and ethical, devotional and relational, upsurging in worship and outgoing in witness--is supernatural; only the Spirit can initiate and sustain it." Keep in Step with the Spirit, 1st edition, 9.

If this is the case, which it clearly is, how critical is prayer? Prayer is asking God to do all that we cannot do, and there is nothing that we can do without God.

The natural and supernatural aren't so far apart. Asking God for the ordinary and extraordinary should be the constant affair of the Christian, because nothing is ordinary. The weirdest thing about not asking for miracles, extraordinary things, is that we have forgotten that life itself is extraordinary and the gift of God.

Holy Spirit come.
