Day 73 - Question

I found this question in my study Bible and I think it's a basic human question that everyone asks and wonders. Why do we pray and does it make a difference?


Can prayer cause God to change one's circumstances?
Prayer nurtures our relationship with God. God always responds to our cries, whispers and expressions of prayer. He promises to guard our lives and change our circumstances as he deems necessary and appropriate. But as in any good relationship, we must not use God's resources merely for our own ends. We must trust him to act in our best interests.


Prayer is such an important part of hope. When we pray we believe that God hears us and that He can make decisions based on what we cry out to Him, for ourselves, or for other people. That is hope. That is faith. And we know that whether or not He answers our prayers the way that we want, He is still working in our lives at all times.
