Day 673

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  This quote really made me think. When I pray and I ask God for things or pray for people that are sick, I thought that when it came down to it, me praying really had nothing to do with if that person is going to get better or not.  God already knows the plan, but me praying changes me, it helps me.  It brings people together.  But then I started thinking more and found Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." So no, prayer doesn't change God, it changes me.  But now I realize it DOES help situations, but I can't think that whatever I pray for I will get.  If I pray for a million dollars and REALLY believe it, I will get it.  Or that if a loved one is dying, I just need to pray harder and they won't die.  But praying more can change my heart, I will be closer to God and he will guide me through that trial.  Me having closer conscious contact with my higher power, whom I call God, has helped me get throught situations I didn't know if I could get through sober.  Prayer changed things.  That's all for today. Have a great one!
