About This Quote
Prayer doesn't fix anything. Bad things happen anyway. This quote is usually accompanied by a picture of the author praying before unleashing his power upon the world. Prayer doesn't fix anything? What should we do, then? The Bible tells us to call on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:13).
We are told to make supplication (Psalm 102:8). If prayer doesn't fix anything, how does it fit into any part of our Christian life? Prayer has always been a vital part of our Christian walk. It is one of the ways that God has revealed himself to us.
We are told that prayer can change things that are not for our good. If prayer doesn't fix anything it must be used properly. Otherwise, it just becomes another form of day-dreaming or wishful thinking.
