Re: When is prayer effective?
It depends.
If someone says "prayer works", I would counter with the following:
"No it doesn't. God works".
If someone says "prayer changes things", I would counter with the following:
"No it doesn't. God changes things".
If someone says "prayer is powerful", I would counter with the following:
"No it isn't. God is powerful".
See the difference?
The first is, perhaps subconsciously, putting faith in the act one undertakes to reach God. The second is a conscious realization that the act one undertakes to reach God is the means whereby God (and not prayer) can do many wonderful, even amazing things.
