Prayer does not change God, but it changes [the one] who prays.
—Soren Kierkegaard
How have you been changed by prayer?
One thought on “The One who Prays”
I suppose prayer means many different things to many different people. I know that certain religions have specific prayers formalized for certain needs. I know that some religions consider praying to be a required part of observing that religion. I have never felt that this way of “praying” served a purpose for me. It’s as though I’m talking to myself. I try to reflect upon the joys and sorrows that touch my life and respond in my thoughts to them in that way. Praying, if I do call it that, is a very private thing for me.
