Does prayer change your wants and desires? No, not always, but it will change your wants into what God desires!

Does prayer change how you view the world? No, not always, but it will change the eyes you see the world through.

Does prayer change your regrets from the past? No, not always, but it will change your hopes for the future!

Does prayer change the people around you? No, not always, but it will change you; the problem is not always in others.

So does prayer really change anything? Yes! It really does change everything!

So friends, this is the secret of prayer! Now I have understood why parents have been expecting me to pray... I am all set to experience the change... What about you?

"Pray every day and experience an unbelievable change in you and around!"

Hi Mallet,

It's a nice post. But I want to add something to it; I hope you won't mind as it is very important. There is a section for sharing the stories; kindly post all these stories in that. Certain stories with morals related to any subject are good to post, but not otherwise. Hope you take this advice with an open mind.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Meaningful article. Most of us have grown up with our parents telling us to start our day with prayer. In school too, we had an assembly. I know of a corporation where they begin each day with prayer.

Prayer gives us new insight into our lives as well as those incidents happening around us. I think prayer is very personal, and each one experiences prayer differently.

That was excellent.

Some may trust in horses,
Some may trust in chariots, but
we may trust in the Lord.

Keep praying and
keep affirming this by sharing it with others -
thanks Mallet.

God bless all.

When we believe and pray to the One and Only Living God, in His reply two things happen:

1. Prayer changes things for you.
2. Prayer changes you for things.

However way it touches you, know that God will always provide the good He has designed out of every situation if you stay in His will. You will get to fully experience His mercy, grace, and the provisions of His loving-kindness.

Shalom.

Yes, it is an experience. Those who have experienced it will be able to talk about the changes they felt. It is not happening overnight, but as per the plans of God, He does it. So, it is always better to go in His way; otherwise, it will be more crucial for anybody. Just my thoughts.

Prayer can work miracles if done from the heart and with faith. From my personal experience, prayers can indeed work miracles in times of difficulty. I have prayed in challenging times with full faith, and I received help from God.

Hi Nithya,

Prayer changes everything if it has only 2 words "Thank you".

Hi,

Very nice and thoughtful post. I totally believe prayer does change things, at least for one thing for sure, i.e., we get a lot of strength and peace inside the mind, so automatically we are able to think of something better than before. So yeah, pray daily and have faith.
