Today Josh explores four pictures of prayer through the story of the paralytic lowered through a roof in Mark 2: the active, persistent prayer of the friends who carried their paralyzed companion; the skeptical inner prayer of the law teachers; the vulnerable, wordless prayer of the paralytic beholding Jesus; and the amazed praise of the crowd.
