It really raises the question of what any prayer is about. God knows all things eternally ... including what you are going to pray for and that you are going to pray for it. So, is prayer about "changing God's mind" or is it about us growing in our relationship with God?

So, is prayer about "changing God's mind" or is it about us growing in our relationship with God?

Or, is it something that helps to transform our natures, lifting our blindness, so we're better able to see God's work within us?

Senior Chief, pinging you to a discussion of John 2, the wedding at Cana.

Responding to your post Arrogant Bustard

I started to say “Playing devil’s advocate” . . . but it seemed wrong in this context. : )

What you say regarding God’s omniscience and prayer is orthodox, my problem is that I haven’t seen a good orthodox explanation of what Christ meant when he said “my time is not yet come” at the wedding at Cana. It’s there for a reason; I just don’t know what it is!
