Prayer does not change the will of God but the individual doing the praying.
Prayer is a commandment, not for communication with our creator but for our own benefit.
Prayer is Meditation; with an eternal perspective in mind.
God in his infinite wisdom, as the creator of all that we see in this universe, does not have the time to handle all that we demand of him. He does however have the faculties to do so, through us. Through our own actions and abilities, he is relying on us, that we, as his children, being made in his image and likeness, as prospective Gods, will be willing to act as though we were his hands here on earth.
This is why faith without works, is dead. WE are the ones who are supposed to act! This is why "God" lets bad things happen. He is relying on us, we are actually the ones letting bad things happen!
I have my own theories as to how the Godhead works. In that our function and job as Gods hands here on earth does not end when our spirit separates from our body. But that when we pass on, our work will not be hindered by the need for sustenance and rest. Our experiences are our lessons, our teachers are one another, living or dead.
I have often felt the gentle persuasion from something I cannot explain with my five senses. Something that feels a lot like individual personalities and perspectives making subtle suggestions that could almost be interpreted as my own thoughts. Call it what you will, the holy ghost, the holy spirit, the spirit of the lord, spirit guide, comforter, guardian angel, or just plain angel. Each of us has far more power and potential than we are aware. Both in listening and in persuading.
I believe we can make far greater an impact on this world while in our mortal frames than without.
