    So right. But “prayer” to the universe (as if it were animated) or to other false gods is worse than useless. God revealed Himself in Scripture and the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ. There are no substitutes.

    Such a good point—prayer changes people, it’s not our job to change them.

    “When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.”—Revelation 5:8? NASB

    “And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.”—Revelation 8:4, NKJV

    Prayer is powerful! It is how many miracles from God occur, because people prayed.
