Prayer That Changes Me

Prayer is simply talking to God. And prayer doesn’t always seem to work. We don’t always appear to get answers. Sometimes we can wonder what it the point of it all? But whilst prayer doesn’t always change my situation (sometimes it does and we thank God for many answers to prayer!), praying will always change me, and change my heart.

Praying changes me by reminding me that there is a higher power in this world than me; it changes me by reminding me that God has good things for me; and it changes me by reminding me that I don’t need to be anxious about an unknown future.

God is both expecting and inviting us to pray. Come to Him again today in prayer – come as you are, not as you want to be. He’s waiting.
