About This Quote
The hope that prayers offer is that the person being prayed for might be transformed in some way. As you pray for someone, you have to have the desire to see the person change. If you do not have that desire, then your prayer may not be heard. Prayer also changes you by putting you in a position to be used by God.
You are given opportunities to talk to God about what He should do with people. You are given the opportunity to ask questions about how God should work with people. And, if you are willing to listen, you will be changed by your prayers.
