Pray to Change with Ptr. Joby Soriano 01/17/16

Prayer is our most powerful God-given means for effecting change. Prayer is not a matter of changing things externally, but one of working in a person's inner nature through the power of the Holy Spirit. To say that prayer changes things is not as close to the truth as saying that prayer changes us so that we can change things in our lives.
God has established that prayer, on the basis of our salvation through Christ's death on the Cross, changes the way a person looks at things. We are called to put into practice God's commands and the evidence of our faith in His Word will be what comes out of our lives and seen by others around us in fruit, character and deeds. Through unceasing prayer, our lives will bring glory to God that gives rise to thankfulness and a will that trusts completely in Christ.
