Does Prayer Change Things?

When a Christian prays, does it make any difference? Does it change anything? Though our prayers do not change God’s mind, He ordains prayer as a means to accomplish His will. We can be confident that prayer does change things—including our own hearts. In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul argues that prayer has a vital place in the life of the Christian and calls us to come before God’s presence with joy and hope. Dr. Sproul shares practical wisdom and helps us understand the purpose, pattern, practice, prohibitions, and power of prayer. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

‘A great little and very insightful book on the theme of prayer. The most interesting bit for me perhaps was the perspective on always aligning our prayer with God's will and timing. While this looks simple on the surface, most times prayer to us seems like an attempt at forcing God's hand to act in our favor, an attitude that leaves us frustrated when God 'fails to answer'. Learning to wait and trust God unconditionally while we pray allows him to work out his higher purpose in our lives which in the final analysis transcends the fleeting things that are often at the centre of our prayers. There is no doubt I will definitely be returning to this book again in future to keep these truths always in focus.’ Paul Akagwu
