This Journal is a reflection of a thought that I have recorded throughout multiple lectures:
Could it be that the concept of prayer does not change God, but it changes me. This holds the same for how "great art" judges the beholder. Sub-creation and divine relationship that goes deeper. There is no way that an infinite God can be moved. Idea of predestination, but in regards to free will. Prayer is not necessary to get something or make something happen, but instead alters the prayer and maybe makes the heart more malleable for the Lord to shape and use how he wishes. For a happy Christian heart truly desires the will of God above all. That way, the concept of predestination loses its sour taste. What, then would that say of listening? Maybe it would say that the prayer changes our heart to be open to the voice of God that is forever present inside of us as Christians. Prayer does not change God, it changes us.
