If you’ve ever struggled with the apparent contradiction between God’s unchanging nature and His desire for us to bring our requests to Him, you’ll enjoy this excellent excerpt from a book by Philip Yancey.

  1. Fantastic article! I’ve often struggled with “Why pray? God’s going to do what He wants to anyway.” Yet my soul cannot help but cry out to God. CS Lewis really helps bring the query into perspective with his play analogy. Thanks for sharing!

  2. My question is, what do you do when God’s will seems to be taking you somewhere you don’t want to go?

  3. That’s a great question, and I think asking a couple of related questions will help to shed some light on the subject:

    1) Is God worthy of our trust?

    2) Who knows better what would be best and right in our lives – us, or God?

    3) How does our finite knowledge compare to God’s?
