To pray is to change...

At Four Corners we chatted about prayer this morning...something widely accepted as something it may well NOT be...easy to understand. As Greg, the pastor, pulled some amazing stories from his life to illustrate his difficulties and frustrations with prayer in his journey with God. Like...why do some prayers seem to be answered and others don't? But instead of offering some trite answer he explored the depths of why we pray in hopes that this would shift our line of questioning. I think the quote from Richard Foster sums up much of what was said,

"To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives." Richard Foster


Prayer may always be a bit of a mystery but certainly it takes little away from what lies at its heart.
