No, prayer doesn't change things ? Yes I am sure it changes things
The only thing prayer changes is the pray-ers perception of the outcome of what he is praying about. It makes the person who prays believe that everything is now out of his hands, and that he is being watched over (faith) . All it does really does is comfort a person in need.
Example: A man prays in earnest for the deadly illness befalling his wife to go away. The wife dies, despite his prayers.
"Don't worry, my Son. It's all in God's plan." The prayer takes no heat from its' failure.
A man prays in earnest for the deadly illness befalling his wife to go away. It does, (even though the prayer did nothing for the illness)."God is watching over his children, my Son.
Prayer changes things." The prayer is seen as a great and powerful tool for the believer.
Example: "My father had cancer. I prayed to God to let him live. The cancer went away. Therefore, my prayer worked."
"The Soviet Union collapsed after instituting state atheism. Therefore, we must avoid state atheism for the same reasons." )
If I wake up in the morning, and outside the sun rises, it doesn't mean that the sun rose because I woke up.
Prayer is very important as a mean to communicate with God and to express your feeling and your burdens to God and try to listen to God's voices as you start to pray and meditate.
