quotes from Chapter 13 Prayer and the Sovereignty of God by Leith Anderson
"Prayer is primarily about God, not primarily about change."
"Does prayer change God?... God had said Hezekiah would die. Yet, after he prayed, God said, 'I will add to your days fifteen years' (2 K. 20:6). Prayer changed God."
"Believing that God is both powerful and present means that I acknowledge Him to work through circumstances."
"God calls us to pray for others on the assumption that prayer will make a difference.... We must be careful, however, to guard against any notion that our prayers can overrule either the will or sins of another person."
