“I have heard it argued that prayer does not change God’s mind; rather, it changes us.”
I once heard an interim pastor say something like this in a sermon, and it stayed with me. I pray, but I try to view it as a way of reminding myself that I am not the center of the universe, and instead need to focus on others and their needs. Prayer, when viewed this way, is a less a letter to Santa Claus and more a reminder that we should do what we can for others.
