The Tangible Effect of Prayer
God's gifts are given actually and immediately, but they are resources which we, as God's stewards, must put to work in our own lives if they are to bear fruit. I have heard people complaining that, for them, prayer just has no meaning. It can't really change anything. Well, my experience is that the most important thing that prayer
changes is me! It opens my heart to God's presence.
