Did you realize that prayer changes you and not God?
The idea that “prayer doesn’t change God’s mind” reflects a theological perspective that God is omniscient and sovereign, knowing all things from beginning to end, including our prayers. From this viewpoint, prayer is not about persuading, manipulating, or altering God’s plans but aligning ourselves with His will, deepening our relationship with Him, and expressing our dependence, trust, and faith.
That being said, others may interpret prayer as having the potential to influence God’s actions, as seen in certain biblical narratives where intercession appears to result in a change of course (e.g., Moses pleading for Israel). However, highlights like this and similiar advents further illuminate the mystery and complexity of the relationship between divine sovereignty and human free will.
At day’s end my brothers and sisters, prayer is the means by which the will of the Father and the will of His children become aligned. Its purpose is not to alter God’s will, but to obtain blessings for ourselves and others-blessings that God is eager to give, but that require us to ask for them.
