Prayer changes...

The traditional plaque reads: "Prayer Changes Things." I know that's true, from observation and experience. But, is that God's only intent?

Chambers said: "Prayer is the way the life of God (in us) is nourished. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself." Utmost, August 28

For most people, that sounds audacious - getting to know God Himself? Yet, that's what He had in mind when He made us. . . a people for Himself . . . to know and love and care for.

Today's question: Do you know God? For me, that's a daily prayer (when I remember.) I do know He loves to answer that one-- it was His idea.

Thanks Sue. I needed that today. I think I also need to pick up the Chambers devotional again. I learn so much each time I use it in my devotions.
