Does Prayer Make Any Difference?
Cycle B sermons for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Based on Gospel Texts
I want to address a subject that many of us struggle with — prayer. Deep inside many of us want to know if prayer makes a difference. And if it does make a difference, what difference does it make? Does prayer really work? If it does work, how does it work?
Those of us who are Christians know that prayer is something we ought to do. If we need something — if we are confused about something — if we need guidance or direction — we have been taught to pray about it. In fact, most of us have heard well-meaning friends ask us, “Have you prayed about it?”
