 Well, from one standpoint, it is undoubtedly true. Prayer changes the attitude of the one who prays, but prayer does not change God's plans or designs. On the other hand, there may be certain blessings which God wants us to have and enjoy, but withholds them until we realize our need and go to Him in prayer, requesting them. Is there any general rule by which we might be guided in the matter of what we should pray for?
