What a nice cliché "prayer changes things." Do we really believe that? Just get enough people praying and God will be obligated to do what I am asking. Just get enough likes on your facebook prayer and God must acquiesce to our requests.
I guess when it doesn't go our way, that we did not get enough people to pray. Just a few more and God would have been forced.
What if there is another way to think about prayer?
We need a different paradigm about prayer. How about this:
True prayer change me. Prayer changes something... it will change me if in prayer I am prostrating my heart before God.
"Dear God, help me understand. And if I can't understand please help me trust you. Please help me to find peace in the storm. Please help me to find you."
When we give up trying to fix things and give up trying to control God, we can finally rest in him and find a peace that passes understanding.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
