Prayer affects God more powerfully than his own purpose

Prayer is based not simply upon a promise, but on a relationship. The returning penitent sinner prays on a promise.
The child of God prays on the relation of a child. What the father has belongs to the child for present and prospective uses.
The child asks, the father gives. The relationship is one of asking and answering , of giving and receiving.
The child is dependent upon the father, must look to the father, must ask of the father, and must receive of the father.
Prayer affects God more powerfully than his own purpose.
Almighty God is concerned in our praying. He wills it, he commands it, he inspires it.
