Though prayer doesn't change God's mind or God's purposes, prayer does change something- It changes us.
Chuck SmithPrayer is the most important activity a born-again Christian can perform. It should head your list of priorities, for certainly the world around us desperately needs prayer. Prayer will open the door for God to do a glorious work in these last days. Prayer will stem the tide of evil.
Chuck SmithI think it rather pathetic that so many people are looking forward to heaven to prove that their doctrinal position was correct.
Chuck SmithPrayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth. The purpose of prayer is to get God's will to be accomplished upon the earth, and so many times we ask and receive not because the motive behind our asking is really that of accomplishing my will rather than God's will.
