About This Quote
Prayer does not alter that which God has determined. Oftentimes, people will say that a person who prays for a certain thing will receive that thing. For example, they may say that if a person prays for a job, the job will come in. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, there is actually evidence to suggest that prayer can have the opposite effect.
