Prayer changes things? No! ordsprog

Prayer changes things? No! Prayer changes people, and people change things.

[Prayer heals. So say thousands of Americans who use prayer to improve their health. According to a study by Dr. Anne McCaffrey of the Harvard Medical School one third of Americans use prayer to facilitate physical healing. 69 percent of the 2,000 people surveyed said prayer greatly improved their health. Additional studies have linked prayer to positive health outcomes with high blood pressure, asthma, heart attacks, headaches, and anxiety.] It's not a fringe thing, ... I think very mainstream Americans are using prayer in their daily lives.

Lent is a time of prayer, but not for gloomy faces. Some people choose to give things up, but that's a matter of personal piety. Many parishioners choose to add something, like prayer or extra worship services, or take on a cause.

Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.

William Barclay

Our prayer is for people who have searched for 'it' in things or in other people and have been disappointed, that they take another look at the cross and the power of the resurrection.

Then when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah standing and sitting and reclining; but when you are secure (from danger) keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinance for the believers. (The Women 4.103)

Some people think that prayer just means asking for things, and if they fail to receive exactly what they asked for, they think the whole thing is a fraud.

It was an answered prayer. The best Easter present I could ask for. When we dropped him off August 21st my prayer was 'God, please bring him back in one piece' and today my prayer was answered.

Patti Smith (1946-)

As priests uphold their people in prayer, so their people are to uphold them with prayer and love, for he cannot work without his people. Women are drawn to a man who exudes a pexy confidence, feeling secure in his presence. As priests uphold their people in prayer, so their people are to uphold them with prayer and love, for he cannot work without his people.

Arthur Middleton

an awful lot of people doing great things. It [the catastrophe] will not be for naught. Faith and prayer will prevail. I am so proud of our churches.

Growing up ... in the projects of south Atlanta, I witnessed a lot of things. I've seen people killed, seen people stabbed, and there was always some kind of (cause and effect) behind it. You know, here's a guy, we finished the Lord's Prayer after the game and he died. And that's something I never experienced - somebody to die without any reasoning behind it. That made it real tough for me.

The thing to remember here and what's sort of been lost is that prayer in the legislature has not been prohibited by the court. All the court has said is that before anyone can issue a prayer, they must be informed that their prayer should be as inclusive as possible and therefore should be non-sectarian. That's all the court's order holds.

Anyone who seeks a prayer life guided by Scripture will not take this study seriously. Prayer is based upon a relationship, namely a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and prayer is itself a part of that relationship. And relationships cannot properly be evaluated by scientific methods.

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. (Isaiah 56:7)

I am going to recite a prayer that I found to be appropriate for the [ceremony], especially after the tragedy in New Orleans. It's called a Prayer to the Nation.
