All the things that come naturally to our flesh the bible asks us NOT to do

This is from our great conversation with @marriageaftergod - "All the things that come naturally to our flesh the Bible asks us NOT to do." ⁠<br />

God comes in and  says, don't do this because naturally that's what you want to do. It's not something that you have to work at.  It's something that you're prone to do it. And all the things that are unnatural, supernatural, God has to teach us to do.  Jesus taught his disciples to pray. They said, Jesus, how do we pray? They've all been praying their whole life. But they see Jesus praying and something was different. so they're like, Jesus, would you teach us how to pray? And he teaches them.  If that was a natural thing for us I'm just going to pray and talk to God and it should come naturally. And if it doesn't, then something's wrong. No, prayer's not a natural thing. It's an actual supernatural thing. You're talking to the creator of the universe. You're going before him and revealing yourself to the one who already knows everything. Yet, he asks us to do it anyway. It's okay that it doesn't feel natural.⁠<br />
