Lessons from Prayer - Story

123 words

A story that demonstrates the same truth

Prayer isn't just a religious ritual—it's a lifeline to God. Consider the story of Michael, a father who began praying for his estranged son every day for three years. Instead of giving up when his son continued to reject his attempts at reconciliation, Michael chose to trust God's timing and keep praying. Eventually, his son reached out, and their relationship was restored.

This modern story of prayer demonstrates how 2 Corinthians 5:17 becomes real in our lives. Prayer isn't about getting what we want; it's about aligning our hearts with God's will. It's not about changing God's mind; it's about changing our perspective. Michael's story reminds us that prayer is the most powerful tool we have for transformation.
