A sign on the way to work says, "Prayer doesn't change God, it changes us."
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what the sign is saying. But man, if it means what I think it might mean, that's just wacky. That's faithless Christianity, or humanistic religion. The God of this universe and the God of the Bible hears our prayers and is moved by prayer. From cover to cover in the word of God, the hand of God is moved to action when the people of God pray. Certainly he's in the process of changing each one of his children, but that isn't why we pray. We pray because Jesus says, "ask and you'll receive."
