Prayer Changes You
“Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).”
How often have you prayed
for things to change while you remain the same? In her book, Lessons in
Truth, H. Emile Cady said that one of the major causes of suffering is “the
stubborn refusal to change.” Once transformed by the renewing of your mind,
then you are empowered to change the things in your life (Romans 12:1-2).
Prayer changes people and
changed people have the power to change things. God has given humanity the
authority to change the planet for the greater good of all (Genesis 1:26-28).
When you connect with your divinity through prayer, you feel motivated to make
a difference and use that energy to answer questions, solve seeming problems,
and bring resolution to issues.
Prayer does not change
things. Prayer changes people, and people change things because people are a
part of systems. Your family is a system, and, when you change through prayer,
your family system changes. Your friendships are systems, and when you change
through prayer, your friendship system changes. Your business or job is a
system, and when you change through prayer, your career system changes. Your
school is a system, and when you change through prayer, the educational system
changes. Your neighborhood is a system, and when you change through prayer, the
community system changes. Your local assembly is a system, and when you change
through prayer, the religious system changes. The government is a system, and
when you change through prayer, the political system changes.
As we end 2020 and move
into 2021, allow yourself to be changed through the power of prayer so that you
can be a change agent for the community, the city, the country, the continents
and the cultures of our day.
