Sometimes the situation changes dramatically and quickly when we pray.
Other times the situation doesn't change - but we do.
Other times the situation changes slowly and gradually.
Does pray make any difference in this?
In a discussion with someone after the service on Sunday we really wrestled with this. Do christians just manipulate the discussion around prayer - Things that could have happened a really just coincidence. Any undeniable supernatural answers to prayer are few and far between and always happen to 'somone we know'
Where does a conversation like that end - I'm not sure. But what I am sure is there is a God who can change anything in the universe. I know that through Jesus I can talk to him and he listens to me. Ultimately I have to trust that He knows best when it comes to answering prayer - the answer could be Yes No or Wait.
When it comes to people dieing that really shouldn't - ie in freak accidents or at a young age.
People who have prayed for protection or may have had may people praying for them - why didn't God stop it happening? Because God knows best! It may not make sense to us this side of heaven but I am sure it will from the other side.
When I pray - I trust in a God that knows best - He can change things so I will keep praying to Him.
Have a read of Luke 18:1-8 Our Father knows what is right!!
