Pray

Prayer?
I have often wondered what prayer actually does..
Not in a cynical way,
Not in a doubtful way,
but in a way.
I have read the Saints,
and not one ever changed God's mind.
But prayer always changed their minds.
That is the reality.
All this "name it and claim it"
"If you only believe!"
is bullshit.
Prayer is about a relationship with God
And you know what?
God is never wrong.
If we ask for something that will eventually kill our souls,
He will not want us to have it..
that doesn't mean we can't get it to some extent..
we have free will and that allows us to swim in excrement if we want.
We are all Prodigals in our daily struggle.
It ain't a one time realization..
