Now, we know immediately from reading the Scriptures, God is not dependent on us.
God is not sitting and wondering what helpful advice we might offer Him in prayer as to how He can govern the universe.
We know that, don't we?
We hardly even need to stop and think about that.
Jesus reminds us just before He gives us the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, He says, don't be like the Gentiles going on and on and on thinking that they will be heard for their many words.
God knows what you need before you pray.
God knows what you need before you pray.
He's sovereign.
But that doesn't mean don't pray.
That doesn't mean don't pray.
But don't pray with the illusion that you're changing the world, that you're changing God's mind.
Pray with the recognition, pray with the faith that you're entering into the purpose of God.
You're entering into the way in which God chooses to operate.
And you're entering in in a most marvelous way.
God is not just using means as if there were some mechanical operation taking place.
God is using the means of his personal, intimate contact with his people so that the means he has appointed is the prayer coming from the people of God, created in God's image to commune with God,
as one of the great privileges of being a creature and being redeemed, that we are invited, urged, commanded to speak to our God person to person, heart to heart, mind to mind.
This is what our God has given us as a great gift.
And it is a means he uses.
He uses it as a means to change the world.
