Does Prayer Change Anything?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles Tags: Bible Lessons on PrayerIn Eric Rauch’s article, “Does Prayer Change Anything?” — Mr. Rauch observes the following:
“One of the best descriptions of the purpose of prayer can be found in Arthur W. Pink’s book, The Sovereignty of God.”
He quotes from the book:
“Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude—an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God. Prayer is a confession of creature weakness, yea, of helplessness. Prayer is the acknowledgment of our need and the spreading of it before God.”
Paul said it another way:
“Pray without ceasing …. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Philippians 4:6).
