Many people think prayer changes things. But does it really? The idea that prayer changes things is a common misconception. Why?

All religions emphasize prayer. Most people have occasionally prayed. But to whom are they praying? And what is the basis of their prayers?

People who have prayed sometimes become discouraged. So, they will ask Why? Why are my prayers not answered? Jesus explained, “When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as others do. They think their gods will hear them because of their long prayers.” Matthew 6:7

But Jesus said, “When you pray, you should pray to your Heavenly Father God, and He will hear you! And He will answer your prayers!” Matthew 6:6

If you want your prayers to be effective, you must pray to the true and living God through Jesus Christ the Lord. And you must pray in faith, trusting God to answer your prayers.

When you pray to God by faith in Jesus’ name, then God responds. God will work, which is a grace thing. Prayer doesn’t work, but God works when we pray.

So, does prayer change things? NO, absolutely not! PRAYER does NOT change things! But God changes things . . . through prayer!

Jesus said, “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.” John 16:24

Therefore, PRAY in Jesus’ name, believing that you receive it.
Because . . . GOD CHANGES THINGS, THROUGH PRAYER!

Yes, He does! Thank You, Jesus!!! Hallelujah! Amen!
