If God cannot be persuaded to benefit me or mine, then why should I waste time praying? How about this-- God can descend from the heavens, tell me He's chosen me, give me energy, health, and wealth immeasurable, and then I'll pray like nobody has ever prayed before.
I believe, based on numerous things, that it is GOD's Will for all to be a part of His plan. But I cannot speak about you specifically.
No, ultimately you cannot change GOD's plan, but that doesn't mean that GOD will not do things for your sake or benefit.
How will you know GOD's response for you on if you can change IT's Will. I'm telling you now that you cannot change it. It hasn't changed since before time; it isn't going to change because of the supplication of a single individual. However, GOD will change your particular potential, scenario, experience if you truely and sincerely hope.
Prayer isn't for GOD to change IT's Will. It is for man to remember it.
Peace
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
Until that, I'm gonna continue thinking that prayer is just the adult equivalent of talking to your imaginary friend. And while I can see the attraction of this, I'd rather talk to one who's likely to answer me.
