There are those today that say prayer changes things. Well, does prayer change things? I think so, but that’s not the primary purpose of prayer. Notice here, we entered this passage in worry and we come out in peace. What’s been changed? Have things been changed? No, nothing’s been changed. A storm is still raging. Waves are still rolling high. The thunder is still resounding and a storm has not abated. But something has happened to the individual. We enter with worry, we come out in peace. What’s really happened? I tell you what’s happened. Something’s happened to the human soul or the human mind. Prayer, my friend, does not primarily change things. It changes us. The individual was changed here. That is the secret of power today—prayer.
